a good easter it was. lots of family time. lots of sugar overloads. and lots of opportunities
to remember what makes this season significant–our Savior.
on saturday, jeff's mom and dad prepared an early morning devotional at the mesa temple. while i was wrangling lincoln out in the hall, i wondered how much of the message would actually stay in their young minds. admittedly, i was a bit frustrated, wishing they were just a little older to grasp these special experiences that won't happen again. in my attempt to catch some memory of the morning, i managed to get a picture of the kids with granny and grandpa as we left.
today as i sat down to look through photos of the weekend, i realized i need not worry. they may not remember the things that were said, but they will remember the feelings they felt. feelings of happiness, of love, of togetherness. and i hope that with pictures, they will remember this… (minus lincoln's sour face)
with candy, eggs, bunnies, and a trip to the easter pageant, i think we pulled off one of my favorite easters yet.

Great fotos, Cherie. TFS I loved our weekend! Very special.
that picture of Ella is my favorite. It filled me with the spirit, as she is looking up at the Savior is awe. Beautiful!
I didn’t realize what Ella was looking up at until andi mentioned it in her comment. Now, I LOVE IT! So cool. Sounds and looks like you had a FABULOUS Easter. What I would give to see a pageant and like to the pte. and hna. mask again!
Happy EASTER!
It was a great weekend. Thanks for including us in all of it. We love your family and always have a blast!!
Embrace the sour face!! It won’t always be there! That is what makes the picture a lasting memory…the time he wouldn’t smile at Easter! I love the pictures with the melt downs! while they are not fun at the moment and some times down right embarrassing, it makes the story to tell time and time again!!!
Treasure it! I am glad you all had a wonderful day!
