Happy Easter

We hope everyone had a great Easter. As for us we had fun starting some new traditions with Ava. Even though Ava isn't even a year old yet, I think she had fun getting an Easter basket, wearing her new Easter dress (I think I enjoyed that tradition more than Ava though), and going on her first Easter egg hunt. Ava has a love hate relationship with grass...well, more of a hate relationship :) She usually is crawling all over our apartment, but once you place her on the grass she doesn't move an inch. With Josh's help, Ava was able to walk over to her eggs. She had a fun time placing the eggs in her basket and then dumping them all out. She actually did that all day. She even figured out how to get her Cheerios out of the eggs by throwing them really hard against the kitchen floor.



When we were talking to my in-laws on the phone, my father-in-law asked what was the real reason we celebrated Easter. Josh said it was for the candy. But all jokes aside, Easter is a great time to remember our Savior's love and how much he has done for us. How blessed are we to have the blessings of the atonement in our lives. It is so great to know that because the Savior died on the cross and rose again, we will also get to live again with our families. What a priceless gift.
