Easter 2012

Easter was super fun this year. Hailey and Addy are at such fun ages. They are really begining to understand the 'meaning' behind why we have holidays.  This year when asked in Primary "why do we celebrate Easter?" Hailey raised her hand and when they called on her, she confidently said "because it's the day Jesus came alive again"  Since I am in Primary, I heard this sweet answer and my heart melted. Not only because she knew why this day was so special, but she wasn't afraid to just say it.  I was a proud mother that day, as I am most days.  

Of course, we had to enjoy some of the fun traditions and festivities of Easter with our little gems and also with our extended family. 

Yes those are ADORABLE girls and yes, those are baby chicks.  We picked these little critters up and got to take care of them for a week before taking them to Grandma in Las Vegas.

Dinner at Scott and Val's.

Valerie and Grandma McMurray pulled off another amazing meal for Easter complete with Ham, Roasted Veggies, Rolls (which I contributed) salad, potatoes and.....

This amazing Trifle. YUM.

Hailey wasted no time in the traditional Easter egg hunt at grandma and grandpa's house.  Hailey made roughly $10 and Addy made roughly $8. Nate came away with over $20 and I had $7. Not bad, I must say, not bad.

Melissa was the lucky winner of the $20 bill this year.

Another exciting treat was that the girls got to 

see their cousin Spencer.

 He moved away a few months back and they have missed him a lot.

It was a great day with family and friends and such a special day to be celebrated.
