Easter!

This year Easter was ..... Easter. Nothing special other than the fact that it is the holiday celebrated to remember Christ's resurrection - which is of course VERY special.

The day before Easter we took the kids to City Park to the Easter Festival and Egg Hunt put on by Antioch Church. It was pretty chilly, but the kiddos didn't complain, even in their shorts and sandals (whoops).

After the egg hunt we went to eat lunch at Al's Burgers. Yummy!!

Easter morning included the discovery of the Easter baskets left by the Easter Bunny himself! (side note...the magic died for our two oldest this year because Maya is too smart and asked....so that's cool.)

Dallin got a new book and some Hot Wheels cars. He was very excited about both!

I think the girls forgot that there was going to be a basket with goodies in the morning because Dallin had to go in their room and show them his before they came out to find their own. Maya got a new book and Hidden Figures. She admires the women in that story and had been asking for the movie for a couple of months.

Brianna also got a new book and an L.O.L. doll. 

Lydia got nothing but the gift of life one month previous.

Then of course we had the mandatory egg hunt in our backyard before church that morning. 

After church we took some photos of the kiddos. Well. We tried. It was a massive fail.

I think the best photos we got were of the three older kids enjoying this ladybug that Dallin found in the grass.

Then we added Lydia to the mix and it got even worse. By the way, this was her face for the first two months of her life. Quite a joy.

Dallin decided he had enough and was outta there!!!

This year we did not dye eggs. I'm 100% okay with that and might continue that tradition, the one of not doing it, for several more years until doing it doesn't fill me dread because of the ensuing mess. Thumbs up for as little stress as possible.

Happy Easter!
