Easter!

The last month has been pretty busy.  I say that, not really, but it feels like it has been a whirlwind.  Adjusting to 3 kids is definitely a challenge but it has been oh so fun!  We kept Easter pretty low-key this year.  On Good Friday way had a going-away/graduation party for Karli and Blake who are moving back to Utah after being missionaries here and then choosing to live here during law school (getting married in between).

 Drew saw this crawfish paddle and asked Mike why we got a new spanking spoon!  (We have a small one like it and when it is a serious offense, yes, our kids get a spanking with it...no judging, you don't know how they can be and sometimes nothing else works)  I thought it was pretty funny, myself.

 I love this genuine little face!

 The group!

On Saturday we dyed eggs for pocking and eating on Sunday!  My mom sent us these cool little Q-tips that made for really easy and practically mess-free decorating.  They were particularly perfect for Susanna.  We did have a few broken eggs by the time it was said and done but that's why I boiled extra...can't be to unprepared for things like that ;)

 I love this simple picture of Drew's and Mike's hands.  Such a sweet pair they make!

On Sunday we went to church and then went to the McCartney's for dinner.  

I think this is our first picture as a family of 5!  Just 5 weeks overdue...

 Pocking eggs with dad!

She did not want to take off her "princess" dress.  Check out those twirls!  

It was nice to have time to stop and really think about our Savior and His infinite Atonement.  I am so grateful to Him for His sacrifice, that He suffered in the Garden and was crucified, that He rose again on the 3rd day and that He lives so that we all can have eternal life.  

Happy Easter!
