Easter 2014

Easter was pretty different this year being away from family, but it was still fun and the Easter bunny did find us! We made it to Albertson's to see the Eater bunny before Easter. We got Monty's smile just in time. Happy Easter Monty and Dawson!
 Dawson woke up and ran straight to Monty's basket... he was a little confused at the little bath toys... 
 and then he saw his name spelled in jelly beans with an arrow!  He followed the jelly beans.
 This is what Monty found after Dawson figured out it wasn't his own. 
 Dawson followed those little jelly beans to a big surprise! 
 He got lots of candy, a kite 
 (which was totally awesome), 
 and a lego set that the Easter bunny left for the whole family. 
 We had to fly the kite! 
After church is when we had a BBQ with Jori and Danny. We all flew kites and then Jori and I hid the Easter eggs that the kids dyed the day before. We did a small Easter egg hunt in our front yard and then most of the eggs got smashed... 

During church it was so neat to be able to substitute for Dawson's class because we were able to really get excited about the lesson for Easter Sunday. It was nice to help the kids focus on the true meaning of Easter. It's so fun to watch Dawson grow and learn. He gets so excited about the stories from the past and figuring that those things really did happen. He related the resurrection to Andee which made the lesson more special for us. I'm so grateful for Dawson and his understanding.
