I Feel My Savior's Love

 I feel my Savior’s love
In all the world around me.
His Spirit warms my soul
Through ev’rything I see.

It is this Easter holiday that I am overwhelmed with my Savior's love.  We are so blessed to have our family, wonderful friends and the Gospel in our lives.  It is beyond evident, that our happiness stems from the eternal sacrifice of our Savior.  He suffered and died for us so that we can return to him and our Heavenly Father one day.  
I am so grateful that I can be with my eternal family forever and always.

We started off the weekend with an egg hunt put on by the Woodhaven Community Church.  They had individual egg hunts for each age group, which was perfect for the little ones!  We went with our friends the Adamson's and the Hardman's.  Kai was sweet enough to let Londyn take a spin in his wagon... such a romantic.
The weather was breathtaking at 68 degrees!  The sun was so warm and refreshing.  It was a beautiful day!

Here's the crew walking to Stella Olsen Park for the egg hunt!

Londyn wasn't too sure about the egg hunt... she would reach down and pick up items and then hesitantly place them back on the ground.  The only thing she wanted to keep was some crackers she found.  It was a blast to have fun in the sun as a family!

We all slept in until 9:30am on Easter morning (that was a gift in itself).  I was so excited when I heard Lulu was awake so we could take her downstairs, but she woke up on the wrong side of the crib.
We finally got her to go downstairs and she eventually warmed up to her Easter basket.


I am pretty dang lucky to have such a beautiful daughter and handsome man in my life.  They are just too cute!  Grammy Milne got Londyn this super cute dress and I've been saving for Easter Sunday.  Andrew looked dashing as always in his lavender tie.  

Bishop/Papa Milne invited all of our ward members to extend an invitation to friends in our lives to attend our Easter service this year.  We had the best experience, because Andrew's friend from school made it very simple by asking us if his family could tag along.  We were so excited to have them and their 2 year old son Noah was a champ!  He was an angel child during the program!  Londyn on the other hand tried to run up to the stand and sit with Papa... she also made a point to go back and forth between me and Grammy a bazillion times... which eventually led to me escorting her in the hall for the entire second half.  How can such a pill and be such a blessing, all in one?


After church, we headed over to Grammy & Papa Milne's house for family dinner and the annual family egg hunt.  We had a delish meal of ham, cheesy potatoes, veggies, salad and homemade rolls.  Yummmm.  
Following dinner, the Dad's hid the eggs and candy while the kids anxiously awaited the hunting!  Londyn and Kyler got a few minute head start and then it was havoc after that!  It was so much fun!  After the hunt, all the kids examine their loot and trade for the best goods.
LJ loves her cousins!


Happy Easter!
