Easter Celebration

Mesa Temple Easter Pageant



Happy Easter! We had an Easter celebration that lasted the entire week before Easter which made it more magical. Quint's parents and younger brother Sean came into town and we were able to spend a lot of time with them and made some fun memories. Tristan and Gavin went with Grandma Rere and Papa Dave on several bike rides to the park, they sang lots of goofy songs together on Tristan's guitar, and read lots of books together. Grandma Rere even took Tristan to preschool one day and Tristan was the happiest kid on earth. Danny, Emma, and Rowan also came to visit too! We loved celebrating Rowan's 1st birthday at his BBQ party at the park that his mommy and daddy threw for him. The entire Lamoreaux clan was at Rowan's awesome party and it's always so fun watching all the cousins together. We loved having everyone visit and can't wait for them to come again.
The Monday before Easter Grandma and Grandpa McCook came over and shared an Easter Family Home Evening lesson with us. The boys got to open Easter eggs and read scriptures from inside the egg which were events that lead to the resurrection of Christ. It was a very sweet lesson and Tristan enjoyed learning that Easter is about Christ. Watching my boy's testimonies grow is one of the best parts of being a mom. :) Tristan and Gavin are very blessed to have such loving grandparents.
The Friday before Easter we went to the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant with the youth in our ward. It's been about 10 years since Quint and I have been to that pageant and it was a really special experience. We were glad that our boys enjoyed it so much too!
The Lamoreaux family came over on Sunday for Easter dinner and for an egg hunt for the little ones. It's always great to have the entire family together, especially on such a special holiday. After the egg hunt Josh took a family picture, and then we all watched cute home videos from the 1980's...always a crowd pleaser! :)

Quint loved the way the sky looked over the temple right before the pageant began.
