Easter 2009

As much as we enjoyed our Utah trip, we knew we wanted to get back to Arizona in time for Uncle Joe and Aunt Claudia's annual Mediterranean Easter Feast. (Plus, I had to teach the Easter lesson in Young Womens at church). We enjoyed Salmon, nuts, dried fruit, challah and pita breads, hummus, etc. (And of course the variety of yummy Easter treats after dinner.)
Carter looked so handsome in his Easter outfit:
And he had a really fun time hunting for eggs:
Shane's sister Alona, her husband Aaron, and their kids Bentley and Kaya happened to be in town visiting Aaron's family. Bentley did some serious clean-up in the egg hunt department!
And Miss Kaya loved finding those eggs:

But not near as much as she loved opening them and finding the chocolate inside!
We had a great time sitting around visiting after the wonderful meal.
We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather for Easter! My favorite part of the day was when Joe read us Aubri's e-mail for that week. Aubri is in Jerusalem on study abroad this semester. She has the unique perspective of living in the place the Savior lived, walking where he walked, and visiting his tomb, etc. Her words were touching and reminded us all of the miracles each of us experience through His sacrifice and His example.
