Easter 2009

This year Easter came quickly and finished as fast. I was struggling finding the spirit of the holiday that way I wanted too. I found this video and loved it. It is beautiful. If you are Christian I would highly recommend watching it. I borrowed it from a friend of mine, so it is her blog you will be visiting.

Now for our Easter celebration. We had an egg dying, peanut butter chocolate egg making party with Nana and Grandpa on Friday. The peanut butter eggs turned into more like chocolate rocks. They probably weighed ten pounds. It was a lot of fun and they tasted great! On Saturday night we had our modified passover meal. We had lamb, unleavened bread, grape juice, and cabbage in a vinegar dressing. We talked about how these foods symbolize our Savior and the true meaning of Easter. Sunday morning started with a hunt for eggs and Easter baskets. We had to get up early so we could find everything before we went to church. The Easter Bunny hid the baskets really well this year, and in very creative places. Gem was tired, LM was energized and Boo was all about those pink eggs! Later on we had dinner with my parents and sister's family and had another nest hunt. The cousins had a blast finding all the treasure and more candy. I just love being with my family on the holidays. I'm grateful for the faith that I have and the love of my family.

Thanks T for designing me another beautiful blog. I love it!!!
