Happy Easter!  The kids wore their new Easter clothes to our home church.  We still went to the temple for our traditional Easter Sunday photo.

 Maybe this photo is more appropriate to the times we are living in.

This year for our Easter countdown we studied doctrine of Jesus Christ that was restored through Joseph Smith.  Our knowledge of the Savior is wider, richer and grander because of scriptures found in the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price.  Our poster kept falling off the wall so we reinforced the tape repeatedly the past 12 days.

For family night we wrote corona virus haikus.  This is Gibson's.

Here is Helen's.

Here is Abe's.  By the way, he does not think Abigail is boring.

Here is Becky's.  Sofi texted us her haiku, "I sit on my bed, Time is immaterial, What's human contact?"

Abe's soccer coach asked everyone on the team to send him a video showing themselves juggling a soccer ball.  This is a photo of Abe on the roof of our porch getting ready to juggle.  Gibson is on the sidewalk below, ready to film Abe.

In an ordinary year, our kids might think they were too old for an Easter egg hunt, but right now there aren't a lot of other activities going on.  Abe hid the eggs for Helen and Gibson to find. 

He was very creative and tried to make the egg hunt challenging.

 With some hints, Helen and Gib found all of the eggs.

Gibson found the grand prize egg.

 It was a fun way to spend the afternoon.  The weather was warm enough outside that some of the chocolate in the eggs had started to melt before all of the eggs were collected.  Abe is already thinking of new hiding spots for next year!
