Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter here in the Tolman home. We felt the love of the Savior as we remembered His atoning sacrifice and celebrated His Resurrection!

Andrew enjoyed the egg decorating as much as the older kids. (That is a hard boiled egg with the shell on, in case you were wondering.)

The Easter eggs turned out beautiful! Good job guys!

The children woke up Sunday morning and played an Easter version of Connect Four while the waffles were getting ready.

Then they went on a scavenger style egg hunt. They found little paper eggs with clues on them that eventually led them to their Easter baskets. Nick and Tatiana took turns reading them and they let Ben find the eggs. It was fun chasing them around the house on their hunt.

Their baskets were hiding under Andrew's crib.

They each got a fun game and some Easter candy. Yum!!!

Nick, Tatiana and Ben all decorated our traditional Easter bunny carrot cake for dessert. Oh, so good!!!

We had the missionaries over for dinner. They gave Tatiana her first lesson in preparation for her upcoming baptism. She is so excited! Then the Elders and kids made the "Resurrection rolls". They are so good! We had our big ham dinner. Then after dinner we did our Easter egg hunt. I hid plastic numbered eggs. Each had something inside about the Easter story. The last egg was empty to represent the empty tomb...He is Risen!!!

Happy Easter!
