Glorious Easter

We had such a fun Easter. The weather was beautiful, Matt's sister Pam and her kids came from Twin Falls. The food was yummy ( I love ham.) We had plenty of time to do everything because Pam ussually runs at least an hour late. I even had time to get my Easter decorations out.
Here are some fun pictures of the kids enjoying the day:
Bella got to fly (with cousin Travis).
Bella got a ride with Aunt Pam
The Easter Bunny brought Grace this cool fairy kite.

The wind kicked up enough for McCade to fly his dragon kite (with help from his cousin Candice).
Bella was adorable finding her eggs and putting them in her bunny purse.
Grace's Bunnies from The Bunny.
The Easter Bunny brought Bella wings...so cute!
It just wouldn't be Easter without dyed countertops..I mean Easter eggs.
It was a great day. I love celebrating this holiday that represents the literal breaking of the bonds of death for all mankind. Easter has more meaning for me personally since my dad and father-in-law have died. President Hinkley said, " These simple words—“He is not here, but is risen”—have become the most profound in all literature." I agree. Those simple words fill me with hope and peace as real as the feeling I get when I feel the first warm breeze on my skin and know Spring will come, no matter how long the winter has been.

Awesome pics, my friend!! Bella is growing up far too quickly. She is looking like a mini Grace with a smattering of McCade. It's time to see a photo of you, though. . .so hand that camera off to Matt!

Love u!

That littlest pet shop bunny is so cute...I wish the Easter Bunny had brought two of those to our house. Maybe next year!
