{Happy Easter!}

Today was such a wonderful Easter day for me! I really do love being back around family for a holiday -- any holiday! It just seems right. We made some wonderful memories, had a lot of fun, and I feel so grateful for the real meaning of Easter. I feel like my faith has been renewed in the Atonement and Resurrection. I just feel happy today.


Are you ready for a picture overload? You know you love it!
It all started with a little egg dying...


Then crafty basket making / creative modeling was in order!

Easter morning... Peter Rabbit found us!

Maren has never sat so still, so quietly, for so long! The girl loves M&M's!

A quick photo shoot before Church...

They had to pick a pose too! Love all their personality!

What would Easter be without an Easter egg hunt? On your mark, get set, GO!

Your family is so gorgeous, Alynn!!! I love all the pictures...

And about the blog I was referring to... it's the one Mindy mentioned in a comment on Mission 24... sheyerosemeyer.com/blog/

I think that's the right address, if not, I have a link to her page on my fam blog under "my inspiration".... girl, when you go there, make sure you have many hours and lots of tissues. I was reading her blog from about 8pm last night until almost 1am. And I cried so much... lord... but today I was a more kind mother.... i waS!!! :) Now, if I can just keep it up consistently each day! :) Glad I'm not the only one who beats myself up when I have a day... or days of impatience...
