the big bunny delivered

We had a nice Easter morning at home. The boys were up at the crack of dawn. They were all excited to see what the Big Bunny had left for them. Brody took the drama award this year. He was so excited and so animated about EVERYTHING. I love this picture. This was the expression we saw all morning.













He was excited to unload his basket. He was ecstatic when he saw that the Big Bunny had left eggs all over our back yard. Even more ecstatic when he discovered that there were pieces of candy in those plastic eggs...and this my friends is exactly why I love holidays with little kids. The experience is pure magic.

Our morning was filled with an egg hunt in the backyard, homemade scones with buttermilk syrup, General Conference (a world wide broadcast for members of the church)in our jammies, and probably a little too much chocolate. It was wonderful to listen to our church leaders from the comfort of our own home. Their talks were inspiring and filled with so much love. It was the perfect addition to our Easter.




























After conference, we headed to my sister in laws for lunch and another egg hunt. I think she hid 200 eggs for 6 kids(okay, two of them were teenagers but still). Petra is always the hostess with the mostess.










Once we got home, we got a visit from an old friend. John and Deanna went to high school together. It was fun to meet all of her girls. The last time we caught up with them, they only had one and we had two :-). Anyways, their girls are darling & it was fun to catch up and trip down memory lane with them.





Hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
