Easter







Happy Easter!! We had a great Easter weekend. I didn't work on Saturday so the kids and I dyed eggs and played outside most of the day. Now I have 20 boiled eggs that I'm sure no one will eat. Justin will have to eat a lot of egg salad sanwiches in the next week. The kids were up bright and early Easter morning. You would've thought it was Christmas with all of their excitement. Hopefully they were'nt that dissapointed with the little bit they got. We then got all "dolled up" in the new Easter clothes. Thank you G-pa and G-ma Winterholler for the pretty blue dresses. We got a lot of comments on the girls at church. They looked great!!! Jaxson looked pretty snazzy too. We started an indoor easter egg hunt tradition of our own two years ago after we moved here. All of the eggs are filled with money and candy, except for one that has nothing in it. That is the bonus egg. That is the egg that represents Our Savior's empty tomb. This year I hid that egg so well, even I forgot where I had hidden it. Lilly and Kinsley never gave up and eventually found it about an hour later. We had a great dinner together and enjoyed the rest of the day. We hope all of you did as well. We think of our family and friends often, especially around the holidays when we realize we're on our own.

What sweet, precious children. Yes, the blue dresses are breathtaking. Jaxson looks so grownup and you can tell that he loves his sisters. You are so blessed.
