Easter 2007

This Easter was a lot of fun. We went to Lisa's parents ward for sacrament meeting to spend time with some family, and enjoy the real meaning of Easter together. Crystal had a brand new Easter dress thanks to grandma, that made her look like a spoiled little princess...a beautiful one. Crystal had a small easter egg basket, but instead of candy, she had some toys. She was very happy to see more rubber ducks in her basket along with a small wind up chicken...she couldn't have been happier. It's great how they're so easy to please when they're so small! We ate an early dinner at the Lisa's parents house with them; Lisa's grandma, and Lisas cousins. There was a lot of good food including steak, ribs, buffalo wings, rice, ceasar salad, potato salad and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. We were stuffed! We then had some of the easter eggs set out (which Lisa colored earlier that day,) and let Crystal enjoy her first easter egg hunt which was a lot of fun for her. She was running from egg to egg so fast that she kept tripping and falling, but luckily it was soft grass she was running on, so she didn't care. She got so excited during the process that she had to go down for a nap soon after because she was exhausted. As fun as Easter has been for her, we're looking forward to being able to teach her, in time, that not only is it fun, but also a day to be thankful for and appreciate our Savior. We're so glad to know that life, with it's good days like this one, can continue long after our mortal deaths, and that there are many many happy days to look forward to in the future.
