Easter was a bit different for us this year. Easter fell on General Conference Sunday so we did things on different days. I tried really hard this year to focus on the spiritual aspect of Easter, along with the fun stuff. For a week preceding Easter, each day we talked about what the Savior was doing on those days. We started with the Triumphal Entrance and made leaves and donkeys, we watched movies about the miracles and teachings of the Savior, we made our own passover feast, watched videos and read scriptures about the Atonement, crucifixion, and resurrection, and made empty tomb rolls. My kids had fun and I think they really learned a lot! Definitely a tradition I'd like to continue.
We wore our Easter clothes the Sunday before Easter, because of Gen. Conf. Dang my kids are cute!
This picture features Tyler's model pose. haha
My little princess! See Tyler sulking in the background? It was pretty hot and he was not happy about staying outside to take pictures, which is why I don't have any of just him.
Our first time EVER decorating and dyeing eggs. Does that make me a bad mom? Needless to say, the kids loved it!
Clara being a ham with her plastic eggs from preschool.
The Saturday before Easter (aka the first day of GC) the kids got their Easter baskets/things to do during conference. The Easter Bunny was spot on!
And of course the annual Easter Egg Hunt at grandma and papa Andreasen's house. Grandma got wise this year and color coded the eggs! No more whining!
