Easter 2012

Jesse and Eddie went to Arkansas this past week to pick up a drill for the farm. They drove there and back in 3 days. Ugh, I would hate it! They were back on Saturday and that's when we decided to do an Easter egg hunt for Atreyu. I hid about 30 eggs in Eddie and Bernie's yard and since Atreyu was the only kid there, he had free reign over the whole yard. He had so much fun finding all the eggs and occasionally opening one up to eat some candy.





Bernie had also just gotten back from Janell's house in Provo on Friday so we were really happy that everyone could be there for the egg hunt. When we went inside, I tried counting his eggs to make sure we got them all but Atreyu would have none of it. He thought I was trying to steal them. This was Atreyu's haul.

We also gave Atreyu his Easter basket after his nap on Saturday. He got this battery powered gun that blows bubbles and I think that was his favorite part of the basket (besides the few eggs with candy in them).

I am so thankful for this time of year where we are able to remember the Savior and his sacrifice for us. Everyday I am reminded of how imperfect I am and I am so grateful that Jesus loves me enough to have suffered those imperfections for me. A speaker in sacrament meeting challenged us to really sit down and study the atonement some time this year and I think I am going to try to take him up on it. I know that it will give me and even greater appreciation and love for my Savior.
