Easter

Blake and I spent this Easter apart. I was flying home from Jari's graduation in Rexburg ID, while Blake enjoyed an Easter lunch and baptism with his family. Blake kept texting me all the good food and fun I was missing out on. Mama Russ did an amazing job on her bunny bread.

Mama Santos surprised us with little cups filled with candies. She knows her kids: Cadbury Eggs for Me, Lindor Truffles for Jari, and Resse's for Adam.

The rest of the day was spent on the cold plane. Enjoying my airplane shaped cookies, hot chocolate and a book I can't wait to burn.

Even though Easter was not spent with strangers on a plane, and it made my day that mom remembered the fun of little egg shaped candies. It was nice to take a moment and think of Christ. He is risen, He is the son of God, and He knows our pains. What joy that brings to my life.

Easter Lunch

Well the Saturday of Easter Weekend was wonderful.

The weather was perfect.   

That morning there was some egg dying...

Brandon took it all a little literally

And of course we had an egg hunt...

Mojo participated as well by trying to get the eggs from all the kids

We love this dog.

 The boys worked outside while we made lunch...

And of course we had a wonderful Easter lunch.  Complete with croissants sandwiches and fruit, I must say this is my dream lunch.

The night before I made brigaderio as promised...

a long with some other chocolate clusters.

  Brandon, Blake, and the kids were playing in the lake and it didn't take long for them to get bored.  Before we knew it they had covered themselves in mud and were running around the back yard acting like monsters.   

 

 

 And then of course they rolled around in leafs after wards.  

Now I know that Easter was last month but it is alway good to remember the spirit Easter brings.
