We had such a great time for the days before and after Easter. What better way to celebrate such a special holiday than to extend it out over more than just one day? Easter morning was pretty quiet before church. The kids found their baskets and had breakfast. Nathan was so excited to help everyone find their basket! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
and Kurt scouted some coupon deals for me....
Emily, Nathan and Melissa at the City egg hunt the day before. They were so excited to "hunt" eggs, but both little guys came back with nothing. In the end, they had more fun making a big sand pyramid at the playground and seeing the Easter Bunny.
We used the cookie kit from Grandma Karolyn for our FHE treats that Monday night. The colors were so bright and the kids had a great time getting creative.
The following weekend all our Freeman cousins (except one...) came to visit and we had an egg hunt in Grandma's backyard. Nathan and Emily had MUCH better success this time!
Everyone paused for a picture after the hunt. A great looking group!
Grandma had a special project for everyone ~ to redo the hole the trampoline sits in. It had started caving in. With lots of hands to help, the project went pretty fast!
Then of course it was time to eat!
We were lucky enough to have our cousin's baptism this weekend, which is the real reason everyone came for a visit. We paused for more pictures outside the temple (which happened to be across the parking lot from the church where the baptism took place)
cousins, and the girl of honor herself...
Our five darlings!

We spent Sunday evening with family. Emily decided she wanted to ride
with Grandpa when everyone headed for the playground.
She loves these free rides!
Easter is such a special holiday. It was lots of fun extending it out over more than a week!
