I have always been a fan of celebrating holidays and love the fun traditions that come with each, but since having children my love for holidays is on a whole new level - and it just keeps getting better and better as the kids get older!
This year Sam actually had to work on Easter Sunday (bummer), but he did have the following Monday off, so we celebrated that day instead. Here are some pictures from our (Monday) Easter morning...
Eleanor and Jordan with their Easter goodies! My mom was sweet and got them both their own little baskets (that's why Eleanor has two, I was lame and didn't get Jordan anything) Everything she got for them was a hit. Thank you, Grandma!
Actual Easter Sunday was also General Conference Sunday. Even though Sam was at work, the three of us had a great morning. I turned on conference on the ipad in the kitchen while Eleanor and I got to work making cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls to be enjoyed the following day as we celebrated with Sam. With busy hands I was able to stay fully alert through the session, while Eleanor was happy and quiet working on her dough, and Jordan slept peacefully in his swing. It was great!
I had arranged a little picnic and Easter egg hunt with friends between the two Saturday sessions (I guess I'm doing this post backwards as far as dates go, whatever!)
The kiddos anxiously awaiting the go ahead to find their eggs...
It was a great holiday and I am thankful for the time and reminder to think about Christ's sacrifice for us and the atonement. It is always wonderful to have the opportunity to listen to General Conference too and hear the prophet, apostles and other leaders speak. I hope everyone else enjoyed their Easter!
