Easter Fun

Easter was so much fun with a little one this year.


First we colored eggs on Saturday night with Brady's family.


We did some with mission themes - the flags of the countries we served in. Italy (for my brother-in-law, Josh), Peru, and England (Where Brady's brother Jrodan is now.)


Here's Elder Haider's pic with his Great Britain flag I colored for him.


Of course we had to get basketball and the Jazz in the mix.
The Easter Bunny left a basket for Stockton with an outfit and a Bob the Builder DVD. He also left an outfit for Brady and some Mini Eggs for me!

This is how the Easter Bunny started the day - coming to snuggle with Mommy and Daddy.

I don't know if kids come programmed or what. Stockton knew exactly what to do: 1. Find the eggs.
2. Open them.


3. Eat the treat inside and 4. Find more eggs and repeat
We ended up putting cheetos and cheerios in the eggs, since Stockton's not quite old enough to eat candy. But, he LOVED it!
After morning session of Conference, it was off to Grandma Haiders for another egg hunt. Stockton found some good ones... like this one in the puppets mouth.

Stockton helping put all the hard boiled eggs in the carton after we found them.


The easter bunny left some great stuff for Stockton! A cute little chair, a book, an outfit and toy missionaries.


Stockton loved easter with his little cousin, Anellina. (Gotta love Aunt Holly crashed on the couch in the background.)

Then it was off to Grandma Orgill's house for yet another Easter Egg Hunt!

There were only a handful of the grandkids, so it wasn't as rowdy, but it was still a blast!

But, as fun as it was, it was really special to listen to Conference and hear all the wonderful testimonies of Jesus Christ and really remember the reason for the holiday: to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. I am so grateful for Him and that He died for me, but more importantly that He lives for me.
