Easter Antics

I love this time of year. I love the new life flourishing everywhere. Outside my window birds sing in their nests, the sweet smell of flowers blooming fills the air, and the hills are green. New life everywhere. What an appropriate time to celebrate and reflect on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the new life that is offered to us on His behalf...

So, while we do love the 'commercialized' Easter traditions, we as a family for our FHE activity this week decided to send letters to the Missionaries who selflessly give of their time to bring the message of hope to those who wait to receive it. There are 5 young people in our Ward (congregation) currently serving missions. They are serving throughout the US, Japan and in Honduras.


I loved that Kayla prayed for inspiration as to what to write to them.
How sweet.



and because we can't resist good ole' Easter Bunny fun...

We made and dropped off treats to friends

and we started a new tradition...

Egging people's houses (hee hee hee)

You drop the note on the door, hide the eggs around the yard, ring the door bell and run.


Super Cute and Super fun.
We left a basket on the doorstep with treats with the "You've been Egged" note as well, so they couldn't miss it!
I got the idea for the Egging and the little peeps here.

Last Sunday was beautiful as well. There was Mother-daughter afternoon of scripture reading and special guests at the Newport Beach Temple. Krystin and I had a wonderful time.




One of the 'special guest'

One of Krystin's Young Women's leaders wore her wedding dress and shared how important it is to have high standards and look for those in your future spouse. She was really beautiful.

A beautiful day.

More Easter Antics to come...
I am sure.

Happy Easter!
