Easter 2013

I felt like I couldn't concentrate on Easter this year as well as I would have liked.  Personally I was able to reflect a lot and ponder the amazing gift of the atonement. However I felt like I could have done a better job discussing and preparing my kids.  What can I say, I was sleep deprived and stressed!  David and I picked some bible videos for them to watch so he did that and talked with them about them. We did our best and that was good enough.

 Anna loved dyeing the eggs, she kept plopping them back in to get them more and more colorful.  She had purple hands for a few days.

 

Cyrena's basket was hidden in the hutch, Anna's was in the downstairs bathtub, and Natalie's was in the blanket basket

 

 The whole family got new flip flops--David's are in the background. :)

 The girls were most excited about the small bags of chips...

 and the juice boxes! Two treats we don't get very often

 Thanks to David, Grandma Lemmert and the dresses Grandma Taylor bought, the girls looked beautiful for Easter Sunday
