Easter

Easter is an interesting Holiday. On one hand it is the day we celebrate Jesus' atonement for our sins and his resurrection. On the other hand we decorate eggs and get baskets filled by the Easter bunny. Am I the only person who is completely confused why these two things are connected? They really should be completely separate Holidays. We usually spend Saturday celebrating Easter in the world's way and then save Sunday for focusing on the Savior.

We kicked off the World's Easter holiday when Grandma Nancy was visiting over spring break with her Easter Egg hunt. This taught us a few things: 1) our backyard is perfect for egg hunts 2) eggs that are filled with dollar bills are way cooler than eggs just filled with candy. 3) we have the greatest Grandma.

When Easter weekend rolled around it was cold and rainy, but that didn't stop us from participating in the Griggs family egg hunt, an Omaha Easter tradition we have enjoyed the last two years with some of our ward friends.

The kids always look forward to decorating easter eggs and this year was no exception. It is debatable who has more fun, though - Scott or the kids.

It may have nothing at all to do with the real meaning of Easter, but we sure had a fun time with our Easter activities this year.
