Easter...

We had a great Easter this year. We started our celebration a little early. We went to the Easter pageant with my family on Saturday night. It had been raining off and on that day. But thankfully it stopped raining and was just chilly that night while the pageant was going on. Then on Sunday we went to Church and were able to reflect on all that Christ has done for us, and the reason we celebrate Easter. We are so thankful for him and all that he has done for us. After Church we were able to head out to Queen Creek to have a great Easter lunch at my brother and sister in laws house. It was great getting to spend more time with family. And while we were there they set up a little Easter egg hunt for all the little kiddos. Ryken had so much fun looking for the eggs. His cousin Tucker helped him along the way to find some of the eggs. He was so happy to find some and he enjoyed the jellybeans inside the most I think. : )

Ryken with all of the stuff he got from the Easter Bunny. I think that the Easter bunny may have gone a little over board for him this year. oops! : )He was so excited about the egg in his basket, but really it was a jellybean not an egg. But we didn't tell him. : ) We just let him think it was an egg. HA HA! And of course he had to get cereal on his new Easter outfit, before church. Oh well. It got worse at church. He colored all over his sweater vest during Sacrament meeting. AAAGGH! Boys will be boys!Here he was after finding an egg under the lamp topper outside in the backyard. He had great fun. Thanks for all the fun at your house Jared and Lori! We hope everyone had a great Easter this year. And was able to take some time to think about Christ and all he has done for us. : )
