Easter 2012

Easter is one of my favorite times of the year! I am so grateful for my savior's sacrifice and the atonement in my life. I know he lives and that I can be made clean and have my burdens lightened through him. I love any extra reason to be with family as well and this year didn't disappoint. The Saturday before Easter we had a fun get together with an easter egg hunt, egg coloring, games, and a delicious meal. The next weekend Jons parents Marni and Eric came to visit. This was very exciting because it has been over two years since we have seen them, so they hadn't seen Bentley since he was 10 months and they hadn't even met our other two kids. We went to Freestone Park and let the kids ride the train. Also Jons mom had a little easter egg hunt for them there. The kids loved the candy and toys they found! Bailey was finding the eggs just as fast as Bentley so there was some good ole sibling rivalry. Saturday night we ate at Texas Roadhouse and the rest of the time we just spent visiting and catching up. Sunday we had a delicious breakfast and then got ready for church. I had gotten the kids Easter outfits so they all matched. Growing up it was a tradition to get a new church outfit for Easter Sunday and I will for sure carry that fun tradition on. Church was uplifting and spiritual as usual and I can't ever express enough how thankful I am for the gospel in my life. Wyatt with daddy at two weeks old

Bailey was not happy but I wanted a picture of her anyway in her Easter dress!
Brotherly love. These two are so precious and I love that they match even though wyatts outfit is huge on him.
