Happy Easter!!!!! This week has been a wonderful one, reflecting on the most important event in history: the Atonement and Resurrection of Christ. All week we have been reading about the last week of the Saviors life and I have been so touched by the importance of this great holiday we celebrate. It's not just a day of chocolate and eggs, bunnies and chicks, or another event to just eat lots of food.
Easter is the most important and joyful holidays of the year (in my opinion). It is a day to be reminded of the great sacrifice and commitment the Lord made for each and every one of us to live again and be blessed to repent of our failings.
We filled the weekend to the brim with watching General Conference, visiting our Ashton Family (where Jane had so much fun with Chevy, 'napping' and drinking with him!), building our conference tent with the door open to the temple, dying eggs, making braided lemon bread and mountains (of the Lord :) ), hiding Easter baskets, enjoying family time and wearing bunny ears.
And a silly Easter tradition I've started is watching "The Easter Parade." It's quite a funny little show. I love this little family of mine SO much! Little William has moved a lot today to, which has been really special. New life is coming to our home so soon and it makes me appreciate even more the greatness of Easter!! We are all so blessed because of the Saviors dedication to the Fathers plan for us. How joyful we all can be for the Atonement of Jesus Christ!
