Easter Week-end

Easter was extra special this year.  With Michael turning 16 and Trevor turning 12 within 5 days of each other, we had a couple of significant Priesthood Ordinances that occurred Easter Sunday.  In celebration of the ordinations and Easter, we had a lot of family come visit.  Don's parents were here, as well as my parents, and 2 of my brothers with their families.  It was great!

My parents came down Friday with 3 of the cousins, Alex, Abby & Anna. Having an extra night with cousins is always awesome. Saturday the rest of the gang joined us. We had fun playing, talking and swimming.

Michael was at a church youth conference Friday and Saturday but joined up with us Saturday night.

The menfolk took the kiddos to the neighborhood park while us ladies stayed behind, filling and hiding Easter Eggs.  When they got back at dusk, it was time for a surprise Egg Hunt.

Sunday came early and we had a wonderful Easter service at church.  The younger kids sang a song in the program and Michael and Trevor were ordained as a Priest and Deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood (more on that later).  After church everyone came back for a wonderful Easter Dinner and fun together.
