Easter in March

Easter Egg Hunts
The day before Easter Sunday, the Rohnert Park police department put on a cute, little Easter egg hunt for the kiddos in the community. Drake met up with his buddy Liam and left with a sack full of goodies!
Later that day, a family in our ward had an Easter egg hunt for the kids at the church. What a blast!

Easter Morning
The Easter Bunny found us all and their was no shortage of smiles and excited squeals in our front room!

Easter Sunday
All dressed up in his new Easter outfit for church-
 We had a beautiful church service on Easter- the talks were so wonderful! I was given the opportunity to sing in sacrament meeting which really brought the spirit into my day and week as I sang about the Savior and the Atonement. I love the lyrics and thought I'd share them here-

Blessed Be His Name
By: Jenny Phillips

Maker of the earth and sky
Ruler of the heavens
He whom death could not contain
Blessed be His name

Bring to him your troubled heart
Lay your cares before him
He has suffered every pain
Blessed be His name

Perfect and unchanging
Sinless son of man
Author of our simple faith
Blessed be His name

Constant through our darkest hour
Stronger than our weakness
Bearer of our grief and shame
Blessed be His name

Humbly bow before him
Praise Him for His grace
Ever will his love remain
Blessed be His name

Present and abiding
Usher in his reign
With us through the end of days
Blessed be His name
Author of our growing faith
Blessed be His name

Easter Dinner with Family
Sunday after church we invited ourselves to Mike & Jenn's (family 2 hours away) for Easter dinner and a fun evening decorating Easter eggs, eating too much candy, and just relaxing. 

To sum it all up...
We had a fantastic Easter!
