Easter Weekend

On Saturday we drove up to Delaware for our last Easter celebration with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. It was a beautiful day and the kids had fun hanging out with everybody. It was extra special because my parents drove in from Arkansas the day before and met us there.

The line up from oldest to youngest.

Hunting for over 200 filled eggs.

Score!

It has been so fantastic to live close enough to see my relatives on holidays. I will miss them very much and hopefully they will be making a few trips west once in a while.

We did not have church because it was General Conference weekend so I will have to take a picture of their cute matching outfits another time.

We started a new tradition this year of receiving the Easter basket and doing the egg hunt on Saturday morning. Sunday morning was much more humble and calm.
