Easter 2011

Woken up at 6:30 from an excited boy asking if the Easter Bunny had come.
Hurried down the stairs to see an assortment of goodies in his new blue & white Easter pail.  

A smile and excitement on his face made this momma smile.

One new movie, a blanket, a picture of Christ, his very own Book of Mormon just his size, and a handful of Easter candy.

Then off to church in our new Easter outfits.
