The previous day we hunted for eggs at a nearby park. The eggs were hidden very well and all the kids had fun searching for the eggs. Thanks for the invite, Cindy!
Sunday morning, after finding the Easter baskets, we dyed Easter eggs. Maybe not an appropriate sabbath activity, but we hadn't gotten a chance to do it with the cruise and family in town, so we seized the opportunity.
And the dyed fingers matched the Easter dresses perfectly!

And the girls had new Easter dresses and shoes. I had to get a picture, of course. Camie did not want her picture taken, and it was time to leave for church. I decided to take the pictures anyways. I do not pretend to have perfect children nor am I a prefect parent. And, this picture shows that well. A true behind-the-scene picture.
What I really liked about Sunday was I was able to teach sharing time in Primary. I only had to teach once, instead of both hours, so it was pretty relaxed. I prepared a special sharing time about the Resurrection of the Savior. I love to teach because I always learn so much and it also makes me take the time to study a subject, as was the case this time. And I especially love teaching children because they listen so well (usually, even if they don't act like they are listening) and learn so much and their responses are always so classic. Easter is a wonderful holiday and I love the celebration of the Resurrection of the Savior. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ who was willing to give his life so we can repent and return to live with our Father in Heaven. I love that we can be reunited with our perfect bodies and live again. An amazing gift the Savior gave to each of us.
The day was finished at Troy and Becky's house for dessert. Becky made homemade Angel Food Cake and it was so yummy. I am so blessed with an amazing family. I have five wonderful children and a great husband who works so hard to provide for us. I am so blessed to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I love being mother and a wife. I am grateful to the Savior for all He did for me and for the example He set for me to follow. I have been blessed!

Love the picture of Cami screaming and the other kids staring at her. Hilarious! Our Christmas pictures were similar...only with a very stubborn 12 year old that would not smile and scowled the entire time. Good times!
LOL Those pictures are so great! Camie, I feel for ya, I have lots of crying pictures of myself when I was little. When I see them now, they make me laugh.
That last picture is my favorite!! We have a bunch of Julia like that when we went to Nauvoo. I made her be in them, smiling or not, so she could laugh at them later. (it worked!)
That is the funniest picture ever!
