Easter

 I was kinda bummed that Easter came in March this year.

Because that means no flowers, a good chance of cold weather, snow even, and prickly dead grass.

Much to my surprise however the weather was in the 60s and super nice.

I have to "take back" a comment I made about Easter last year about coloring eggs and how it was just a silly tradition that had nothing to do with Easter. Well I am wrong. And it makes so much sense that I can't believe I didn't get it before. The egg symbolizes new birth. And that has SO much to do with Easter and Jesus being resurrected. He gave us new birth and that we can be resurrected also and we can always repent and start a new life. We taught that to the kids this year so that they know why it is we color eggs and search for them. I don't want them to think like I did and be almost THIRTY (ya that right, big year for me) before they learn the meaning behind easter eggs.

Anyways we had a great dinner of ham and all of the other good stuff with Tessa and Ian and their family. We had an easter egg hunt with like a MILLION eggs (that I keep collecting year after year).  I got some really cute pictures of my sweet kids, all of them smiling even!

I Love my Savior and all that He has done for me and all that He continues to do for me. And I want my kids to know that I love Him.
