Happy Easter

First I want to start with the true meaning of Easter.
I am sure I speak for all of us when I say how truly grateful I am that our Savior, Jesus Christ bled and died for me, and most of all, he was resurrected for me. He made it possible for all of us to repent and be forgiven for our sins and to live with Him and our Heavenly Father again. We can be together forever thanks to Him. I am so grateful this day to be able to remember all that He did for me and for the life He lived for me.


Now for the commercial side of Easter. Here are some fun pics of the Easter fun we had with both sides of the family.
The Robbins Family


We had so much fun over at Great Grampy Clawson's. I wish I had the picture of them sitting on his lap. He is so wonderful and we love him so much!!!

Fun with Uncle Brandon!!!

Hazel and Audrey's first, more knowledgable Easter egg hunt!!!

Audrey is enjoying her eggs while Hazel is eating jelly beans from one of her eggs off the ground!!!

Decorating eggs was interesting, stressful and fun. Hazel wanted to do it her way which was using her hands inside the dye with the eggs. (We were able to get the dye off fairly quickly with cooking oil and sugar as a scrub and then rinsing with soap and water, there's a trick for anyone who is wondering)!!!


Hazel was able to talk to Grammy and Papa Robbins (on their mission in Cincinnati) on Easter morning. She was so cute with them and smiled so big at the sound of their voices. Grammy and Papa were also able to skype in for the Easter egg decorating (thank you for technology). They sent Hazel a Sacrament book personalized and created with lots of love by Grammy. We love them so much and can't wait to see them in about 14.5 months!!!
The Bliss Family

Preparing for Easter Sunday

Easter Morning. We had 9 am church so Hazel had to be ready before she could go and see her basket.


Having fun in Grammy and Grampy Bliss' yard!

Hazel with all of her Bliss cousins. There are eight of them now!!
...and the hunt for the eggs begins...








We love being able to spend time with our cousins, aunts, unlces, Grammy and Grampy Bliss and Great Grammy Reeves. We also were able to spend time with Great Grammy and Grampy Bliss the week before. We are so blessed with such a wonderful family and we love them so much!!!
