Easter 2017

We had a wonderful low key Easter this year.  The weekend was filled with working in the garden and decorating eggs.  I love the feeling of fresh beginnings that Easter and spring brings.  As I cleaned up the weeds in our yard it reminded me of the blessing of being able to start clean and fresh every week because of the Atonement.  I am so grateful for the family time and constant reminders of what makes life important.

We started our Easter morning with lemon poppy seed pancakes topped with strawberries, they were delicious if I do say so myself.  Obviously it was accompanied with easter candy at 9 in the morning.  Let's be honest here, is there ever a bad time for candy (especially holiday candy)?  After church we headed to my parents for Easter dinner and an egg hunt for Daphne.  We all left my mom's in a full blown sugar coma, no regrets here though.

this one is blurry, but it seemed like the best we could get

family pictures are hard

Daphne found an old pocket size Book of Mormon of mine and is obsessed with it.  I wish I could say it had something to do with the content but I am sure it is mostly because of the size.

I can't get enough of this handsome little guy

Daphne's grin kills me here

let it be known, Daphne is obsessed with dinosaurs these days (hence, the dinosaur t shirt from the easter bunny)

Daphne's friend Axel. He lives across the street from my parents and him and Daphne have such a blast hanging out.  It is so fun to see their faces light up when they see each other!
