Easter Eggs

Alexis got a cute Noah's Ark Easter Egg hunt in the mail from her Grandma and Grandpa Cornia. She had fun hiding the eggs for Shaun and I to find.
This is "Spot Stripe" the salamander. Alexis got this from All a Dollar for getting 7 stickers on her Sticker chart.

My family has always dyed Easter eggs. It has been a fun tradition. Our main focus has always been on the Resurrection of Christ. This year we had a newly baptised member from Guatemala over for dinner. He doesn't speak English so Shaun has had the opportunity to teach him the gospel. While he was here we helped him look up some stuff on the Internet about the church i his home town. He was amazed to see that there is a Temple being built in Guatemala. We watched the "Testaments" a movie about Christ and the Resurrection in Spanish and Shaun translated conversation during dinner. It was nice to be able to have him in our home where he doesn't get to see his family who is still in Guatemala. He found it interesting that we color eggs. Where his home town the local churches outlaw the celebration of Christmas or Easter. It was all a new thing for him.





Our eggs included: the world, the Teton mountains, a cob of Nebraska Corn, Baby Chicks, Sparkly glitter, and random designs.

Alexis is showing off her Easter basket with lip gloss candy and fun erasers.
