Easter 2013

It’s hard to believe that just a few days ago I was writing about Christmas now here I am ready to share some of our Easter goings-on. 

Easter is important to us at the Nutt House.  In my opinion, the religious meaning behind the holiday is as significant as the religious meaning behind Christmas and celebrating the holiday over multiple days with loved ones to me is a great way to show the honor, respect, and love the day deserves. 

For Easter this year we started a new tradition, we attended the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant.  I had heard that it was a must see and it truly was.  What a show!  What an experience! And what a spiritual high the pageant provided.

In addition to the pageant we engaged in some of the traditional Easter activities.  We colored Easter eggs, went to a couple Easter egg hunts, the kids got Easter outfits and Easter baskets.  This Easter was special as it was Kaden’s first Easter and my mom was here to experience the day with us. 

 

Someone was not happy when asked to put Grumpy Bear  down for the picture

She was twirling in her dress to one of the songs at church and I had to grab this picture 

MMMmmm Peeps!!!

The funniest part of Easter for the Nutt House was when Kara was eating a marshmallow peep – she was holding the peep while talking or playing with something else and Kaden stealthily snuck up ripped the bottom half of the peep off and shoved it in his mouth without Kara being any the wiser.  It was so cute and so funny!  OH!!!!  How I love those two little Nutts!

We truly had a wonderful Easter here at the Nutt House and hope all of our family and friends did as well!
