Easter

Easter this year was a lot of fun. First, in the morning the Easter Bunny had stopped by and had left a few baskets for us. The bunny had a hard time figuring out what to put in Nathan's basket since he has given up sweets, but managed to scramble up some yummy yet healthy treats all the same.

Baskets that the Easter Bunny left for Kendra, Nathan, and he even left one for Kendra's little sister Kirstin :)

Well, little did we know that the Easter Bunny had also visited Kirstin's apartment, and had left some things there as well for us. After Kirstin got out of church she came over (our church starts sooooo late!) and we got to go through the baskets, then ate breakfast all together and read a few Easter messages. It was nice that Kirstin was able to come share that, we haven't been together for Easter since my senior year of high school!

Next we went to church. There was such a special feeling, and I loved the talks given. Easter truly is a miraculous time to think about the atonement. There isn't a better time to think about new beginnings than in spring (and it was actually a beautiful day) and to think of the atonement and all that allows us to do. I am so grateful for Christ's sacrifice.

After church we had Karissa, Jennifer, Kristie, and Tom over for dinner. What a wonderful way to end the day than with family all around for dinner. We made pot roast with veggies, roasted butternut squash, creamed corn, and had rolls. Kirstin made it over after work too. We had a wonderful time, and hope that everyone else did as well!
