Easter Activities

On Saturday we went up to Layton to go to the annual Merril Easter party. Egg hunts, good food, and fun times together. Here it is in pictures..

 Liam was SO excited to discover candy in the eggs. He goes absolutely nuts and screams, "CANDY!!" At first he didn't understand what we were all doing. Who cares about plastic eggs? He grabbed the basketball and started to go shoot. But then he opened one. He grabbed the candy and threw the egg behind him and ran up to several other kids asking, "Open please?" Haha.


Troy was an expert egg hunter. We had an egg hunt earlier that morning at our church. Ben was in charge of it. It was really fun. 

Troy wanted Liam to enjoy it too, so when Liam didn't act interested, Troy started grabbing eggs and putting them in Liam's basket instead of his own. It was ADORABLE.

Aunt Brittany held Katelyn like the whole time. What a sweet Aunt!! There is mom in the background. She brought all of the egg stuff for the boys. I love the help.


Liam enjoying some much needed Daddy time. Test in on Friday and then we will have him back!


Here are the kids with their baskets. Two of them are Ben's cousins and the rest are cousins kids.
Andrew, Lawson, Emma, Presley, Troy, Liam, and Natalie

Josie, the young girl next to Liam, is a mini mother. Every time she is there, she plays with all of the kids and watches over them. She says she just wants to be a mom.

I was grateful to be able to go to church on Easter. I decided to take Katelyn to church (I have been very cautious because of the amount of kids getting RSV in our neighborhood.) I still didn't take her out of her car seat. It was really special to go on Easter and think about why I get to be with my family forever. I have always known that I would see my dad again, but as I get older I am more thankful for that reality if I am faithful. I love Jesus Christ and what he did for me. I try and wrap my mind around the atonement and crucifixion, but it is difficult to fully grasp what He did for me. But I am thankful for the chance to repent every day. I am excited to be able to see my dad and brother and grandparents again someday.
