This year Easter weekend fell on the same weekend as Spring Break. And I can't take the kids having school off and not going somewhere! And what a better place to go than sunny St. George?! Our family loves that place so much. I don't know if it's because for five years we went down there twice a month or if it's cause our close friends the Kelsch's live there....maybe a combination of things...but it feels like a second home to us. LOVE IT! We spent the weekend with the Kelsch's hanging out, shopping, went to Mirror Mirror(movie), out to eat, and just relaxing. It was heavenly. They really are like family to us. We drove home Saturday night so we could make it to Josh and Krista's for a barb b que and an egg hunt. My mom of course had the cutest things planned for the kids. They all did the bunny hop and every egg they found with a sticker on it they could turn in for a prize. The kids ate it up. It was a wonderful evening. Sunday we woke up, had a nice breakfast, and then got ready for church. I really wanted the focus this day to be on Christ and his atonement for us and not so much on the Easter Bunny so we had our Easter lesson first. I thought it went so well. I found the cute idea off of pinterest to fill 12 eggs with different things that symbolize the Easter story along with a scripture. We had such a wonderful discussion on Jesus and what he did for us and then watched a great movie to go along with it. I loved it. Then of course after we went on the hunt to find the kids Easter baskets. Good stuff. Oh and side note, I was going crazy over mine and Elle's coordinating Matilda Jane outfits...Seriously too cute..I'm in love. After church we drove down to Provo and had a lovey Easter dinner with the Christensens. Kathy is such a wonderful cook. We ate, played charades, went on a walk, and enjoyed being together. Couldn't have asked for a better EASTER!
