Easter with Family

Being in Washington now has some perks for sure. There a lot of family members that live here in the area and when it comes to Holidays it is always a party. Sunday was a day full of Conference, cooking, and hanging out with loved ones! It was so much fun to have cousins over and bring their new little ones to visit with. Ryan's aunts came from Seal beach California and Spokane Washington to join in the fun as well.

Here are some pictures of the fun day

I love Easter. I have always loved the excitement of the eggs, chocolate, and the little bunny that comes to visit the little children. I seriously get so giddy thinking about being the Easter Bunny and doing that fun tradition every year. Easter was always my favorite holiday and I so looked forward to it every year. Of course as I have gotten older I have also learned about the true meaning of Easter. Isnt it funny how the two main Holidays that we celebrate the Savior there is the distraction of the "world" aka Santa and Easter Bunny to get in the way of the true meaning of why we celebrate the special holiday. I used to hate it when we would have conference on Easter cause then I couldnt wear my new Easter dress to church that my mom made me but now I feel so different. I think it is such an awesome feeling to celebrate his resurrection listening to the talks at General Conference. What a special day/weekend it was full of encouragement,hope,and renewing of ones faith and devotion to why we do what we do! I am so thankful for the Atonement in my own life and so thankful for the Savior in my life. I cant wait to be the Easter Bunny someday but more importantly cant wait to someday share the love and apprecation of the Savior to my children.


I hope Everyone had a WONDERFUL EASTER!!!
