Easter Sunday!

Our Easter Sunday was a really great day! We went to spend the weekend in Kaysville with my family. Nathan and I got to go on a nice date Saturday night and celebrate him passing the BAR. Sunday morning we had church early, which I thought was nice because we got to focus on the savior and the real reason for the day first thing. The talks and music were so amazing!

When we got back, there was a jelly bean trail for Jackson. I told him the Easter bunny left him a trail to find his basket. As he was picking up the jelly beans he said, "This is really cute mom, good job!" Ha, Ha! So much for the Easter bunny, but that's okay, to be honest I like getting all the credit anyway. :-)
We had a delicious spring feast with all the fam. Then the little kids had their easter egg hunt from my parents. It was so cute to watch how excited they were. My dad put dollar coins in some of the eggs, and Jackson got $6 worth. He was pretty pumped!

Then it was time for the big kids easter egg hunt (well, I guess we are technically adults). My parents hid $200 worth of money in easter eggs. We are all pretty competitive, so it was pretty hilarious watching us go crazy! It's so fun to get that giddy, excited feeling and feel like a little kid again.

Then my sis in law gave a really cute lesson about the savior, where the kids got to open eggs to find items that symbolized the savior's atonement.

Here are lots of pics, like usual.

I look SO horrible in the picture! I didn't do my hair that day, and I still have 15 lbs. of baby weight on me. Blah! And Jackson, I don't even know what is going on there :-) Owell, here it is anyway.
