Easter Sunday

 
 
Easter Sunday was a lot of fun.  The Easter Bunny hid eggs for the kids.  We went to church in the afternoon and then came home to a ham dinner with all the fixins'.  You could say it was a huge hit.  I got to teach the lesson in primary and had a great time with the kids talking about all the wonderful things Heavenly Father has given us to remind us that we are loved by Him and Jesus.  At the end of the lesson I gave each of them an empty egg and told them that inside was the greatest gift Heavenly Father and Jesus had or ever will give us.  They were disappointed at first but then quickly understood that the empty tomb and Jesus' sacrifice on the cross so we could have eternal life was the greatest gift ever given.  I love these kids.  Their faces lit up when they got to tell their parents about the empty egg and the empty tomb and that is what Easter is really all about.  Kids are the best. 
 
Below are some highlights from the day.  

I think the kids found their Easter eggs in record time this year.  They are already in a sugar coma!!



All dressed up for church

Our bunny rolls were a hit. 
 
We also dyed Easter eggs.  We have never done this before because of allergies, but this year it was a must on Naomi's list.
