Our Easter Weekend

Was great. It was full of tons of fun things and sadly, I didn't get any pictures. I believe my brother did though so I'll ask him for them and post them as soon as I get them. So Friday we headed down to my mom's and spent the whole weekend there. Later that night, we had my sister, Heidi's, baby shower. It was so fun to see everyone, including all our cousins who we never see, except at these gatherings. She got tons of super cute stuff and I'm really excited to meet little Maddi!

Saturday was also very fun. In the morning, I got to see my dearest, most sweetest friend Jacque. I love her to death. She made it possible for me to display some blocks I made. Thanks, Darling. I love you!! We then met up with some of our friends, Braden and Skyler Norton, later that evening. I absolutely love those two. They are such great people and so much fun! We seriously can't get enough of them. Its too bad we live so far apart. We went to dinner and bowling. Ethan has never been bowling and wasn't the happiest kid there. He got three of his first molars within a few days of each other so that explains it. But we had fun despite our ornery child. I hope the Nortons still want kids after seeing how "pleasant" ours can be ;) We love you guys!

Sunday was spent at my mom's for breakfast, my dad's for the last half of the Sunday morning conference session, and the afternoon at my brother's house. Ethan had so much fun at Jason's. They had an Easter egg hunt for all the kids and this was Ethan's first one! He mostly got the concept of it. He ran to an egg and would squeeze it till it would open and candy would go everywhere. He's been really good at cleaning up lately so we told him to clean up the eggs. He then started to put them in his basket and had so much fun chasing after all the eggs to "clean up".

But even for all the fun of the weekend, we still were able to remember the real reason for all the candy and celebration. We are so grateful for our Savior and the sacrifice He made for us. The Atonement is such a wonderful blessing in our lives. We don't know where we would be without the knowledge we have of the gospel and our Savior. I love Easter weekend and all it represents and can't wait to teach Ethan about it!
