Saturday my parents started off the Easter festivities by hosting Trinity UMC's annual egg hunt. We hid about 800 candy filled eggs!! There were kids everywhere, it was great! :) After the hunt everyone hung around and played in the yard for several hours. The weather couldn't have been any better for the occasion.
Chandler was so sweet to pull Bennett and Allister all around the yard in the wagon.
Sunday morning when I got off work at 7am I headed home to get ready for church, I was amazed at the beautiful dogwood trees blooming in front of my house. They were breathtaking!! I had not ever heard the symbolism of the dogwood and Christ's crucifixion until Sunday afternoon, but I was impressed when I my aunt told me about it. If you've never heard what I'm talking about go
here to read more. It amazed me how detailed my Savior is, even down to the design of the bloom on this spring tree!!
I worshiped Sunday morning with my family at Trinity and then we all went out to eat at Olive Garden (my fav!!) It was such a great meal and good company!
Bennett is loving salt and pepper these days. He wants to be just like Rooster (my daddy) and that's where he picked up this little habit :)
I tried to get a picture of the sweet Young fam but as usual I got the back of the boys' heads, ugh!! Maybe once they're older they will learn to love Aunt Tat's camera?!

Easter afternoon was a perfect day for playing in the yard. A bunch of the family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, Jason's parents, and good family friends) came over and we had cupcakes and ice cream as an afternoon treat.
