On Friday we made our Resurrection Garden:
Then we dyed our Easter Eggs
Cooper had fun dyeing craft eggs which the kids took turns hiding around the house for each other for days! Our real eggs turned out pretty great:
Saturday morning we went on a hunt for Easter baskets and then ate chocolate before breakfast!
Later in the morning, the kids hunted for eggs in the backyard. 36 craft eggs and 48 filled with candy! They had a blast running around gathering them.
Once Oliver found one that made rattling sounds, he was happy walking around shaking it for the rest of the time outside.
We put all the eggs in a big bowl and then divided them equally.
By Saturday night, our Resurrection Garden was looking a little sad and lots of the plants had died, but Sunday morning it was alive and beautiful again. I love Easter! He is Risen! Hallelujah!
The kids enjoy this tradition, but I especially like it. I spent the morning listening to The Messiah. It was perfect.

My kiddos!
Easter dinner was perfect too. Grandpa and Nana came to share it with us and it ended up being several hours of visiting and the kids being cute and eating really good food. The leftovers the next few days were as good as Thanksgiving leftovers! But mostly, it was perfect because of the love I felt for and from my Savior. What a marvelous weekend.
