Easter!

Well Easter seemed a little quieter this year. The kids had Good Friday off of school. (They called it a furlough day.) Jaxon woke up with a fever. Of course he had to be sick over Easter weekend! So, I gave him some tylenol and when he felt better I took them to see the movie Hop. The entire focus of the movie was on the Easter bunny and all the candy that he delivers! Cute movie but I realized halfway through that I hadn't discussed the meaning of Easter (which I'll have to do until they're all moved out, I'm sure!) with them this year. So, I committed to do it the next day. However, there was an Easter egg hunt put on by the primary at the church, so I took the kids to that, dropped them off and went to the gym. (Jared had been out all evening the night before and was out again that morning on a bike ride--so I needed some 'me' time to say the least!) Anyway the kids told me afterward that they had talked about the crucifixion and resurrection and everything so I kind of asked a few followup questions, and called it good! Thank you, Primary!
On Easter Sunday, we went to church and honestly I can't remember how it went. Probably fine! I think I taught Sunday school--so I should remember, but I don't. So then after church, we took the kids to the grandparents where I hid eggs for them to find, and Grandma provided a fun scavenger hunt. We had a nice, relaxing day. We missed Trav and Jenna and the kids though, who were down in Southern Cal with Jenna's family. We also got to have Maya and Jenny with us that day which was super fun-watching Maya's first Easter egg hunt! (At least I'm not sure how it went down last  year, she was pretty young).



It was a fun time!
