To start off the Easter season we had a fun play group at Tennille's house making Easter decorations and these cute bunny rice krispie treats!
Then we got to go to our ward's Easter-egg hunt for the primary kids! They had a cute lesson on why we really celebrate Easter and then the kids got to frost cookies and color Easter pictures.
She was so proud of her cookie!
Brooklyn and her pals Jonah and Jackson
After all the activities it was finally time for the egg hunt. She was so excited to use her basket and find the eggs!

After all these fun celebrations it was time for Easter morning. She was so excited to get to look for more eggs!
I love this picture...I am pretty sure she is thinking "Hmmm where could they be now?"
This one was just "too high" so we enlisted the help of Dad to reach it.

Before church I tried taking some pics of Brooklyn in her Easter dress...this is what I got.
she said she looked like a princess
and I thought so too. She is adorable.

After church a bunch of our friends got together for dessert and a little egg hunt for all the kids.
Jackson made me smile all decked out in his snazzy vest and aviators.
Cute little Miley kept trying to steal Brooklyn's eggs every time she wasn't looking
All the kiddos...try getting a picture of all 8 of them looking at you when they have a basket full of candy.
best friends
We had a lot of fun celebrating Easter and creating new traditions for our family. And of course none of this would be possible without the atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ, for which we are eternally grateful.
