We had such a wonderful Easter this year, doing fun holiday activities with family and doing a new Holy Week countdown. It was especially fun to watch how much Leah loved everything we did.
I always have the kids help me fill the eggs. They love it and it's turned into a fun tradition.
Leah loved getting out the eggs, she thought the box of plastic eggs was the greatest thing ever.
She also got to "help" all the adults hide the eggs. We did our hunt the week before to make sure everyone could be there (and Easter weekend was super busy).
Our Easter egg hunt!
Each child had an egg that had a golden dollar in it and we were missing one. As we were pulling out to go home, I looked over and found it 😂
I love these cute kids 🩷
Easter fell on General Conference weekend this year, so we took our "Easter" picture a week early.
I loved doing our Holy Week countdown. This was the first year I tried it and we all loved it. We read scriptures about what happened that day in the Bible, sang a song, watched a video, and did an activity each day. This activity was making palm leaves and I really liked using these big poster boards for it.
Another activity we did was a picnic at the temple, which the kids loved.
Another day, we wrote down something we wanted to do to serve someone else.
I loved Rylee's note 🩷
I didn't get a picture of every activity, but one of our other activities was doing a special snack (we were going to make flat bread, but didn't have time when our plans changed).
Decorating Easter eggs!
We also did a little activty with cousins where we filled the Easter eggs with different things to see if the eggs would float or sink.

Leah thought Easter was great 😂
Leah's favorite treat is the yogurt drops 🩷
It was a wonderful morning.
We loved watching Conference all day and the Spirit it brought into our home. After conference, we had dinner (we did chicken wings in the air fryer with flat bread, asparagus, and potato salad) and spent the evening at Ben's parents' house with family. People brought treats and the kids went out to the creek. Before we went home, we all gathered for a Christ-centered Easter program.
It was a beautiful week 🩷
