Somebody had the idea to try to do a picture on the slide. This was the result.

I love Easter! I think it is my favorite holiday for many reasons. I love Christmas too because of the meaning of the Savior's birth behind it, but there is so much preparation and money spent for Christmas that it kind of takes away from the meaning, but I feel like Easter has such a special meaning of the Savior's atonement and resurrection, there is some preparations but not nearly as stressful as Christmas.

We had another great year celebrating the special holiday. To start of the weekend we had sold Mitchel's dirtbike a few weeks ago and bought him a new/used one that was slightly bigger. My parents were down in SLC for a wedding and picked this up on their way down in Ogden. Mitch was super excited to get his new bike home. Then on Saturday we had 2 different parties and Easter egg hunts with our cousins. We started at my parents and had lunch and the hunt, then we went to Reid's parents and had another hunt and a lovely Easter dinner. It was so much fun spending the entire day with our families whom we love. We feel so lucky to live in such close proximity to them and to be able to spend lots of time with our cousins. On Sunday we got up and the Easter Bunny had visited, the kids got some fun things and put on their new Easter outfits, including the skirts I had made the girls for today. Here are some pictures from our special days.

Your family is so cute! I love those skirts you made for your girls. Savanna is getting so grown-up! It looks like you've had tons of fun the last little bit, with your birthday and Easter, etc.
