We love Easter in the Bardsley Home!! I have very fond and vivid memories of Easter as a child! My dad and mom always went all out with baskets and hiding them. We would have clues, follow the string (up and over the roof!), and we even had to find them with GPS' one year! So even though me and the brothers are all in our twenties, we still love to celebrate and go all out!! So we were disappointed when our parents said they were going to be in Costa Rica this year for Easter (Cameron's exact words: "My first Easter back and you guys are leaving?!"). Grandma and Grandpa invited us to Easter dinner so we went home after church and much to our surprise our parents had left us clues for our Easter baskets! Yes we are in our 20s and still love this silly tradition!! We were all excited!! At the bottom of the note they left in read "This was all your dad's idea. I didn't think you guys deserved Easter Baskets!!" Typical mom sarcastic comment! We loved it!! We got yummy treats (Easter candy is the BEST candy!!) and an envelope with puzzle pieces and a gift certificate. We put all of the puzzle pieces together and on the back of the puzzle it said that Mom and Dad were treating us to dinner and gas to get up to the new City Creek Mall in Salt Lake to use our gift certificates. So thoughtful and we were so surprised! We had a great dinner with our family and it was a beautiful sunny day! We played some Bocci Ball outside and sat and talked and laughed. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful extended family, siblings, and parents. I am definitely blessed. I'm also grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for me and the rest of mankind. I hope you all had a wonderful day with your family and friends and continue to remember Christ!
Oh, Did I mention we have Chicks for Easter?!
