Easter Sunday

She found her basket....and loved it! :D

We had a great Easter weekend. It was the perfect blend of family time, relaxation, inspiration, organization, and fun. It was a nice balance of busy and relaxed.

We enjoyed listening to the Conference sessions (am I the only one that still gets excited that we can watch these from the comfort of our own living room)? In the middle of conference sessions and naps (yes us AND Addison) we got to color some eggs in preparation for the Easter Bunny's arrival. Naturally, the majority of our celebration is probably more for my sake than Addison's or John's but it is sooo fun to celebrate all the details of the holidays with a little one and a family after you've spent so many of them single. I don't need many reasons to gear up and celebrate.....making memories are so fun.

So, since Easter Saturday was spent watching conference, and coloring eggs, Easter Sunday was the big celebration. The finding of Addison's Easter basket, digging through the loot, and playing and napping all day until it was time to head to Grandma Jean and Grandpa Joe's house that afternoon for the big Easter egg hunt and dinner. Thanks for the invite!! It was fun spending time with some of Addison's cousins and we look forward to doing it again. Conference sessions amidst all the celebrations were a great way of reminding us - in the moment - of the real reason we celebrate Easter. I hope as Addison grows up that I can do a good job of teaching her of our Savior and His sacrifice and ressurection - all for us.

Coloring eggs for the first time.
