Easter Saturday

























We celebrate the silly Easter Bunny part of Easter on Saturday, that way we can focus on Christ and His atonement on Sunday. This year was no exception and was so fun---and not even in the snow!!! The Easter Bunny left one giant basket bucket for everyone loaded with lots of fun and the yummiest chocolate eggs we have ever had!! SO fun!!! The Easter egg hunt was epic, some of the funniest pics being the ones where the kids are searching all over bu missing the ones at eye level---wasn't there a conference talk about that, about looking up? Love it!!

On Sunday, we had the most touching Easter yet, in my opinion. The kiddos were all old enough to try to understand what Jesus Christ actually did for us, in the sense that He died and was willing to take our sins upon Himself so we could go back to heaven with Him and Heavenly Father instead of being stuck in the ground and miserable for all eternity as Jeremy said. It was so precious to me to see them all trying to put it together in their own 4 different ways. We had been listening to some of Rob Gardiner's Lamb of God---possibly the most powerfully hopeful music ever heard by me in relation to those last 4 days and after of the Savior's earthly life. Wow!!! Must recommend that to anyone!!

Anyway, Happy Easter!!
