Tony should win a husband of the year award every Sunday as he wakes up early to get ready, lets me sleep in, gets Charlie ready and makes breakfast for the family (our church is at 9 AM). To make Easter special he made a big breakfast, including banana pancakes! It was a great start to the day.
Besides being Easter, this was the day we had long awaited for...Charlie's first day of nursery! We thought this day would never come! I teach sunbeams and Tony is the financial clerk so Charlie is cooped up in the clerk's office every Sunday. No, he does NOT enjoy it! Yesterday Tony was able to finish work for his calling and sit through the entire hour of priesthood. He came home saying, "I LOVE NURSERY!!!" Charlie seemed to enjoy it as well and was extra rowdy when we came home :)
We let Charlie go through his Easter basket before we left for church. It was a quick glance over since we didn't to be in the back of the gym for sacrament meeting! After church the basket was thoroughly played with and all the candy had a taste. Charlie went crazy over the candy! So crazy that I almost lost a finger when I tried to feed him an M&M he had dropped. I was screaming "ow!" as he had my fingertip clamped down in his front teeth--wow, little kid teeth are sharp!

Grandma & papa sent Charlie (and Joey) a special Easter package full of different Cars toys. Charlie was so excited! I put most of those goodies in his basket along with a new movie (we need a new disney movie in our rotation!) and some candy. 
After Charlie and mommy's afternoon nap, we all snuggled up to watch Charlie's new movie.
Later we dyed eggs and poor Charlie was attacked with stickers (from daddy). He was so confused!
Before bed we had an in house egg hunt. Charlie was brushed up on his egg finding skills since we had been playing egg hunt almost everyday that week! After Charlie was down, Tony and I had egg salad sandwiches (what else do you do with a bunch of hard boiled eggs?) and played games.
All of the things I mentioned above are the commercial side of Easter, but it was also a great day to reflect on the blessings that come from the life of our Savior. While Tony was hometeaching I was able to read the Easter story in the scriptures. I'm so thankful for all the blessings that are available to my family through the Savior.
It was a great Easter!

Sounds like you had an awesome Easter. Charlie looks really sweet in his Easter finery!We had our warmest, sunniest day in weeks. We headed over to our daughter & son-in-law's to spend our first Easter with our 2 year, 7 month old granddaughter. We flew a kite... wellllll sort of, planted sunflower & snapdragon seeds in an indoor, self-watering planter made out of a pop bottle... soooo slick when planting with a toddler. What a gift to be with family.
What a great blog you have made.
