Easter 2018

 

  

Easter is my favorite Holiday because of Spring weather, flowers appearing and acknowledging that our Savior LIVES and that because of Him we will live again and can be a family forever.

I also love all the decor that goes along with Easter... flowers, bunnies, chicks, pastels, oh my!

Finn really enjoyed helping me cut branches from a flowering tree behind our house and hanging the eggs on it.

 We made cupcakes with bunny ears and sold them in front of our house.

 

 Finn saw that I purchased this gnome Easter egg kit and wanted to use it right away. I did my best pushing it off but finally gave in, even thought it was mega early. Oh well! They turned out super cute... go big or go gnome!

 

The boys scored oodles of goodies at the Easter egg hunt this year. They always stock the grass with plenty (I mean plenty) of eggs and come home with overflowing baskets. (shh... but the Easter bunny reuses the candy in their Easter baskets). Sweden found one egg and gnawed on it happily.

   

 

  

After the Easter egg hunt we had our friends, the Johansons over for a yummy brunch.

 

This year the Easter bunny filled their baskets with lots of treats, books and gave each of them a camp chair and kites. Looking forward to a windy day so we can go kite flying!

 

 

  

 

  

Easter Sunday this year fell on General Conference. Of course, we watched General Conference but we decided we wanted to get out of our pajamas and make it a special day. So, we got all dressed up, and to the Pearl for brunch at the restaurant, Supper (at Hotel Emma). We had to make reservations weeks in advance since they are famous for their Sunday brunch. We normally don't do this sort of thing on Sunday, but made an excuse this year. Our friends, the Fosters, joined us!
