Easter!

Amidst pouring rain, some friends invited us over to the church building for a early Easter egg hunt. Rowan might of had more fun hiding the eggs than finding them.

Nadia was a bit bewildered at the whole prospect of hiding eggs only to go find them a few minutes later.


Once she got warmed up though, she was really into it.


Rowan wasn't being that cooperative for pictures and took off once it was time to go hunt for eggs. I didn't see him much until the end when he came to show me his loot.



It was a lot of fun for the kids and I'm glad we were able to join some friends in the celebration of Easter.



Easter Sunday began with a visit from the Easter Bunny. We saw a bunny the night before in our backyard, so that increased the kids' excitement. I think that's 2 years in a row that we've seen a bunny right before Easter Sunday.



Our friend Clarissa was holding a bake sale the day before to help raise more money for diabetes, so we had a delicious breakfast of cinnamon rolls.


Afterward we went on a little Easter Egg hunt at home.


Rowan didn't approve of our selection of Nerd jellybeans as evidenced by the following.

To each his own.





You wouldn't think from looking at the above pictures that Nadia was throwing a fit and Rowan was whining about most everything that morning. Not to mention the fact that Nadia later drew on the wall, perhaps wanting to experience repentance for herself. She's a true 2 year old.



There were a lot of heartfelt testimony and hymns of Christ at church of which I'm thankful for. We ended our evening watching a few of the clips the church put out which focused on Easter, my favorite being this one by Elder Wirthlin which you can find here.


Happy Easter Everyone!

She loves them! It took a while before she was big enough for them, but they fit great now. She likes the flowy top so she can be a "princess." Rowan sleeps with his quilt every night too. We're lucky to have such a talented seamstress in the family!

Looks like you had a fun Easter, my kids loved watching your videos. Thanks for coming to the bake sale, I hope your cinnamon rolls weren't dried out by the morning!
