Easter- Take 2!

If you read my previous post you will see that Sage and the camera were not friends the other day... I dressed them back into their Easter outfits and tried again this morning and they're friends again! For today anyways... 

Easter

We all (Taylor's siblings and their families) went up to Paradise the day before Easter and spent the day playing and eating good food. We colored eggs, played Easter Bingo, went on an egg hunt and received fun baskets filled with all kinds of "prizes"(surprises- as Sage girl calls them). As always it was tons of fun. We stayed the night at Grandma & Papa's and spent Easter day with them. Even with a hurt arm grandma managed to fix a wonderful Easter dinner. We put the girls baskets outside and had Sage go out and find them. Her happy and excited mood quickly changed as soon as she saw the camera. Her and the camera were not friends that day as you will notice. I am constantly reminded that things do not often go according to plan or how I envision them to play out in my mind. Sometimes I forget to laugh and enjoy the journey. Taylor is always by my side to remind me and to assure me that the day is not ruined over a few tears and snot and that life in fact will go on... I am grateful for this life I live and for my Savior who has made this life possible and makes it oh so sweet. 

Easter in Paradise

We all went up to Paradise on Saturday to spend some time and celebrate Easter together. It was so much fun. We colored eggs, went on an egg hunt, road the 4 wheelers, played kick ball, opened Easter baskets and ate a yummy lunch and dinner. It had been a while since we all went up to Paradise, so it was so nice to be together and the day was perfect. The Easter Bunny brought Sage and a bubble machine, a book, a Minnie  Mouse, a cute summer dress and hat and a sweet picture of Christ with children framed for her room. Sunday we went to church with Tony and Jeanne and then spent some time and had dinner with Grandma and Papa. It was such a nice Easter spent with family. We are so grateful for such wonderful families and grateful for our own little family of three. We are grateful for our Savior and knowledge we have that He lives!
