Easter

This year Lucy was old enough to participate in the Easter activities. It was fun to watch her. We dyed eggs using Kool-Aid packets and I thought it worked better than the kits you buy at the store. Plus, I didn't have to worry about Lucy eating it.

We made homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs. They are my favorite Easter candy but they are so expensive to buy at the store. I used this recipe and they turned out DELICIOUS!!! They aren't exactly egg-shaped but I didn't have a chocolate mold for them. I think it will be a yearly tradition.

Ben had Friday off of work. We spent the morning cleaning our lot from all of the tumbleweeds and construction debri. Then we went to McDonald's for dinner. Lucy had her first Happy Meal. She barely touched any of it because she found this structure instead.

Afterwards we went swimming. It was a fun evening.

On Easter Eve we had Lucy set out her Easter basket and we read her part of the Easter story. She loved finding a basket full of candy and going Easter egg hunting around the living room. After a morning full of candy we went to church. Lucy, once again, stayed dry the full three hours of church. I'm so glad I don't have to change anymore diapers!

It was a good Easter sunday. I feel like we are starting to be successful at creating good holiday traditions. Of course the important part of the holiday is that we remember our Savior. I am grateful for His love and that through Him I can return to my Heavenly Father and be with my family forever. We are truly blessed. Happy Easter!
