easter

nate checked NCAA championship game off his bucket list over easter weekend, with duke playing in the final four then taking the whole thing with a huge win over wisconsin! we have such gracious friends in indiana who let the boys crash in their basement and spend easter with them.

the girls participated in four egg hunts this year, which is good because on the actual morning of easter, i...forgot to do anything. i had grand plans of hiding baskets and whipping up a fantastic breakfast. but the greatest thing about little children is that they don't care! they didn't need any more trinkets or candy, so we ate cereal for breakfast and hunted the real eggs we'd dyed earlier that week (in our pajamas, because that's what i did as a kid). as is tradition, we got together with the other lds mba families for an easter brunch and egg hunt on easter sunday.

my mom sent us darling dresses and eggs with little objects inside representing the story of what really happened on "easter". i still love that the commercial side of holidays hasn't totally invaded our life yet, and sage is so interested in all the details of why we really celebrate easter and christmas. 

easter is easily one of my favorite holidays
