Church services focusing on the Savior and his resurrection, food, family and a cousin egg hunt. It was a pretty great day (aside from the sugar highs and sugar lows, and we even do our Easter baskets on Saturday!).

My sister-in-law has hosted Easter for the last several years and she does an amazing job. It’s not easy to make a group of 34 feel close and intimate, but she pulls it off every year. The older cousins hide eggs for the younger cousins and then we get to stay outside and enjoy a beautiful evening. We’ve got to soak up those cool nights while we can, our summer nights are too close for comfort!

I am notorious for putting kids in Easter buckets – some years they fit better than others! Check out Hunter and Bennett.
