Well - Easter for the Owens home has been a MONTH long celebration! Benjamin has been sleeping with "silly rabbit" since we got him out of the box! We've been to three Easter egg hunts - the first of which, Benjamin couldn't figure out what was going on! By the third -- he was RUNNING!
Benjamin found another egg to add to his basket!

This was the third Easter Egg Hunt -- SOO many eggs - and by now, Benjamin had things DOWN pat, especially after I said, "run, run, run!"
Our family at Leitner Lake!
Monday we had an Easter FHE - where we sang - "Christ the Lord is Risen" (B. just helped me play the piano), talked to Benjamin about different pictures of Christ, and colored Easter eggs -- between Benjamin trying to drink the egg dye and his hands COVERED -- that was the fastest Egg dying I've ever done -- only 1 out of 6 cracked!
Today was Easter. We had a nice relaxing morning - playing with Benjamin's new LITTLE People, his FAVORITE toys and getting ready for dinner tonight before going to church at 12:30. My favorite part of church was Sharing time where Melissa (2nd counselor) - gave a beautiful lesson where the children opened eggs with things that symbolized different events of things that happened around the Crucifixion/Resurrection. I LOVED seeing the children and hearing them read from the scriptures.

Is that a CHICKEN on your plate?
We hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Easter -- we have enjoyed celebrating and thinking of our Savior Jesus Christ a little more this week! We feel blessed to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and are excited for General Conference!!
Owens Easter Sunday!
