Easter love.

I have a whole lot o' catch up to do, 

so let's get to it.

**I have, in general, not taken as many pictures as I usually do, probably because everyone has been pretty home-bound due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It's been a difficult time for so many. I go back and forth between loving to socially distance - the introvert in me - and wanting things just to get back to how they were before it all started. Hopefully after I get caught up on the personal history-keeping parts I've missed, I can share my thoughts on the craziness going on in the world right now. But that will obviously be... later haha.**

I don't have a lot of Easter decorations, so I decided to make a banner to hang for Easter week.

It was a bit tedious to cut out, but I thought it turned out cute. Once "non-essential" stores started opening up (mid May-ish) I found some great deals on Easter items - one of which was palm leaves at Hobby Lobby at 90% off. Those would have come in handy for my banner haha.

I also wanted to try making red eggs (idea from Don't Miss This).

They are made from the skins of yellow onions. Cool, huh?

On Easter Sunday, TayNae&Fam came over.

This was the first time we had seen Nora since Mar came home from Brazil. Needless to say, we were all excited to love on her :)

After the sacrament (I have loved having it at home, btw), we did this fun Christ-centered Easter lesson with Evie. I've had this little set FOR YEARS (think 20-25), and have done this lesson so many times with my own children. It is actually a beautiful lesson for all ages.

It was nice just being together... finally.

I have to share a couple pics of some of the other grands, too.

I had sent an Easter creche set to the grands, and Britt said that Scarlett immediately made the connection to the creche pieces and the Easter Week chart they put up each year. Love that!

Family truly is my greatest blessing.
