Easter

The kids were up waaaaaay to early on Easter Sunday.

The egg hunting began immediately. The eggs had traditional Willy House contents of mini oreos, goldfish, mini marshmallows, teddy grahams, peanut butter filled pretzels, jelly beans, and other goodies and each kid got a baggie to dump their treats into to make a snack mix for the movie. We watched The Lamb of God and talked about the Last Supper, the Atonement, the Resurrection, and the Sacrament with the kids. I love that they are getting old enough to really participate and add to discussions about gospel principles.


The Young Women in our ward held a fundraiser for girls camp that weekend, so we bought orange rolls from them to have for breakfast.

Corbin was a big fan.

The Easter baskets held new gluesticks for school, watercolors, Tinkerbell and Tiana underwear, a car, Peeps (gross), and the movie Despicable Me.

The girls were able to wear their Easter dresses from last year again (thanks, Auntie HolleeAnn!) and their dolls wore dresses to match. I wanted to take a picture in front of our dogwood like we usually do, but it was so stormy outside that we forgot about a photo until everyone was in pajamas again.

I baked a spiral ham, rolls, and fingerling potatoes in browned butter (new addiction...as if butter couldn't get any bettter-it can!) for dinner. Everything was really yummy and some of the leftover ham went into a pot of beans the next day. Perfect for a rainy rainy rainy weekend.

I love my little family.
