Easter

To kick off the Easter season we went to the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant the week before Easter. It was a wonderful experience. The performance didn't start till 8pm so we were tentative about taking the kids. Savannah did get really tired, but she fell asleep. Leighton loved the whole thing and was bawling when we left because he didn't want it to end. The pictures aren't great, but if you ever have the opportunity it is amazing. It really got me into the spirit of Easter. I took more time this year to reflect on the mission of our Savior Jesus Christ.









Here are a ton of pictures from Easter morning. The Easter bunny left a trail of eggs to the kids' baskets. Savannah woke up first. Savannah loved the eggs. She didn't care about the rest of the basket.

Then Leighton woke up.







These pictures are from after church. Leighton didn't wear this outfit to church. We just didn't get any pictures all together in our church clothes. The kids were digging in to the baskets.








We got to spend the evening at dinner with two families in our ward that were so kind to invite us. It was fun, but unfortunately we don't have any pictures of that. It is probably good since we were so full from all the wonderful yummy food.

what fun! and wow, Leighton looks like such a little boy now instead of a baby. Savannah's round face reminds me of how I picture Leighton. I'm glad you had a wonderful Easter season. I've always heard such good things about the Mesa Temple Pageant. I want to go someday.
