Easter 2017

This year Easter fell at the end of Spring Break, so after the National Zoo and a wonderful trip to visit friends in Roanoke, we had a nice weekend dying Easter eggs and doing Easter egg hunts. And somewhere in all of these fun traditions we are trying to teach our children about the love their Savior has for them. That really, this is the most important holiday of all, for we celebrate the atoning sacrifice of Christ, his death, and Resurrection. He loves! How wonderful that is.

Alex really enjoyed dying Easter eggs. 

So did the girls.

They turned out so pretty.

The kids enjoyed their Easter baskets this year.

The girls got purses from their grandma C and Alex got a cute hat and ukulele.

We tried to stay away from candy although what's an Easter basket without a chocolate bunny?

Then we were off to church. This was the best I could get folks.

After church (which was obviously the most important part of the day)we were ready for our Easter egg hunt. 

We enjoyed a nice dinner with nana and papa after our hunt. It was a beautiful holiday spent with special people.
