Easter

On Easter Eve Abe and I scrambled to get the egg hunt and baskets together. We were exhausted. We officially made the ugliest baskets EVER, complete with rabbit sculpture kitsch that a sweet octogenarian neighbor gave me before she moved away. We were just grateful we had not thrown them away, because there’s nothing our kids love more than cluttery objects/trash. Honestly, they adored their Easter baskets, and I was so grateful. I hope they’re always this easy to please…

Ammon during sacrament meeting. You will note he is not actually in sacrament meeting. He lasts about thirty seconds before he wanders all around distracting everyone, and we promptly take him out to either a room like this or the church halls. I miss our old church that had a lovely garden out back. That was such a solution for the crazy toddler stage.

The girls were thrilled to take Ammon to his very first day in the nursery!

I taught a lesson on faith in Jesus Christ on Sunday, so it was up to Abe to come home and make the leeks for the Miner dinner. He did an AMAZING job.

The Miner Easter egg hunt was so fun for the kids.

We invited the neighbors to join us for dying Easter eggs twice this year. This is one session, and I forget what day it took place--probably the day before Easter?
