Easter

For FHE the week before Easter we tried to teach our two kids a little bit about our Savior Jesus Christ and about the Atonement. It was a short lesson and I'm not sure how much they understood, but we want them to know how grateful we are for Jesus Christ and for all that he's done for us.

Our Easter celebrations started on Saturday when we got to dye some eggs. Everett was pretty interested in this activity, much more so than Claire in past years. He chose to color at least 5 eggs. Claire, with the help of her cousins, also colored a few. :)

The next morning, the kids woke up early and found their baskets (not hidden very well). They each got a few eggs with some candy and a new little toy.

We got dressed in our new Easter clothes and went outside to take some pictures. Claire and Everett weren't very excited about getting their picture taken though so I didn't get too many. We hurried back home for lunch and it was off to church we went. We enjoyed the songs and testimonies we heard that day about our Savior. The primary children went up to sing a song and Claire got a little scared and didn't want to go up at first. Near the end of the song she decided she wanted to go up and sing, but then when she realized she missed her chance she got pretty sad and we had to take her out to cheer her back up. :( After church we headed over to family for Easter dinner. We watched an Easter video and spent time talking and playing with cousins. Happy Easter!
