Happy Easter 2011

We started off Easter a little early this year with our own family passover meal. We thought it would be fun to have a passover meal at home with Autumn and Megan.

Autumn was really excited for the Passover meal. Megan just wanted to get to the dinner part, so we had to hurry it along.

It was a lot of fun and offers insights into the sacrament and Easter.

This Easter season, we reflected on our trip to the Holy Land almost one year ago.

The Garden Tomb

On the mount of Olives, we could look across the valley to the temple mount, the Golden Gate (also called the Mercy Gate) which has been sealed can be seen as well as the beautiful Dome of the Rock.

The Garden of Gethsemane. Some of the stocks of these olive trees date back 2,000 years.

We can tell you from personal experience, that the tomb is still empty.

Easter at the Cabin

For this year’s Easter, we went to the cabin and had a fun time with family.

I snatched this picture early one morning.

The girls were happy with their Easter baskets. Megan’s was a real hit with the book Sleepy Kittens from the movie Despicable Me.

Megan reached for one of her eggs she saw behind the pillow. Each grandkid had a specific color of egg to find.

Moose on the Loose

We had an adventure as we looked out the window and saw a moose in the back yard. It was a bull moose and was shedding its winter coat.

Moose have antlers so they fall off and grow back every year.

I pulled out my Android phone and took a video of the Moose. My sister Katherine was skyping us when we saw the moose, so we took the computer out so she could see too.

We sure had fun hunting for Easter eggs with the cousins.

Easter Fun 2009

The weather has finally warmed up a little bit, and we’re enjoying some sunshine this Easter Weekend. The girls were really excited to hunt for Easter eggs and find their Easter baskets.

We colored eggs, and even ate a few!

We had some special visitors show up in one of the Easter baskets:

The Church posted to YouTube a video of Elder Holland, of the Twelve Apostles, talk about the Savior.

The Church’s YoutTube Channel posts new videos on a weekly basis.

Easter and Megan’s Blessing Day 2007

Megan’s blessing day also was the same day as Easter. We were glad to have a lot of family come to the blessing and share in the special day. Megan’s blessing dress came with a little bonnet. Dad (me), liked the bonnet a lot better than the headband, but was overruled on the decision to have Megan wear the bonnet to church (all in good fun though). Either way, she looked beautiful. We’ll let you decide which you like best, the bonnet or the headband (which I like to call the “brain squeezer”). To view our most recent pictures, click here.
