We had a wonderful Easter!! The night before we talked about the Crucifixion with the children and asked them "Why would Jesus pray for us." They knew the answer - "Because He loves us and wants us to go back to Heaven some day!"
Of course, Easter Morning started a little early for us... 6 am! Dewey went down and brought Ben up to our room so the Easter Bunny could hide our dyed eggs downstairs. And then the rest of the kids woke up and we read from the Bible, the story of the Resurrection of our Lord. At that early in the morning, the kids were really good listeners, and Ben even read a few verses!
Then, we let them go find their baskets which were camo hats for our summer adventures! The went hunting for eggs and found them all! YEAH.. no smelly left overs!
We also went out to the Eliason house to visit for dinner. Grandma & Grandpa Eliason hid 74 eggs filled with candy and money all around their yard! It was a HUGE success! I believe they found the all there too!
We love spending time with our family and remembering our Lord, Jesus Christ, and are so thankful for His life and resurrection. We truly have much to be thankful for.

Looks like so much fun! We loved having you down here over Conference and thanks for Ellen's new wardorbe!
We had those same baskets!! :-) How funny! I like how you let your eggs dry on the rack. We'll have to try that next time.
Brandi, We had done it like you before and the eggs got stuck in the cartons... at least they are boiled so the don't crack and leave a mess!
