Easter Festivities

Our Easter traditions changed this year as we celebrated the holidays with lots of family. My sister Cindy found this cute 12 days til Easter countdown that taught the Easter story and had activities that went along with it. Each night we would open an egg and learn about Christ.



One week before Easter our church had an Easter egg hunt at the park. The activity was originally put together so that an elderly sister could help stuff eggs. Little did we know she had wanted to hard boil and decorate eggs to hide. Could you imagine hard boiling and decorating 500 eggs? I don't think she realized how many kids we have in our ward. Oh well!



On Easter eve, Sara's dance team performed at another local park right before their Easter egg hunt. Sara is really getting good at ballroom. It is fun to watch her dance.



In traditional Prior fashion, we had a family Easter egg hunt with cousins and decorated eggs. After we were done, Grandma talked to the kids about the meaning of Easter and the importance of family history work.



Easter morning we make the kids wait until 6:30 before they can go down and find their Easter baskets. I love listening to them as they sit in the hallway watching the clock and talking about how excited they are to go downstairs.
