As we celebrate the sacrifice the Savior made for us, we also had the opportunity to spend the day with friends and their family. We are so blessed to have wonderful people enter our lives and accept us into their families while we are away from our own.
Today was difficult as it was our first 'big' holiday without Steve or any other family members coming to visit. Like usual, the kids woke up before the sun came up to see what the Easter bunny brought them. They were very happy- as they should be- to see that they got what they wanted! Like he always does, Liam made me laugh... he didn't care about what was in his basket.... other than the CANDY!! I think he ate whatever candy he could find while the other two sorted through their toys to see and compare what they got. He ate so much candy... he barely had breakfast.

Morgan's basket
Aydin's basket
Happy kiddos...
Looking for more candy... every picture I have of him is either looking for more or eating candy!
Their first clue for their GOLDEN EGG! Where was it this year? In the washer...
We then got dressed and ready for a wonderful Easter message on God, His love for us and our ability to return to His presence through His Son at church. I am so grateful for Christ and all he did for us.
After church, we went to the Mullis' (Jimmie and Barbra) for Easter lunch and an egg hunt. It was so nice of them to have us be involved in the Easter tradition and celebrate with loved ones. The kids had a great time and brought home way too much candy!
Where is the carrot hiding this year??
Once we gave them a hint... the kids took off!!
Liam trying to take Jennings' candy...
He just wanted to hug it...
I didnt get the other three swinging... but Aydin cracked it open... and all the kids gathered as much candy as they could!
Mullis kids and ours....
For dinner, we went to the Mullis' (Jim and Jennifer) for a great dinner. I love these people and am so grateful for their friendship!!
