Happy Easter!

Reflection of our Savior's Resurrection is so wonderful. We watch The Lamb of God every year, and each year I learn something more. This was the first year that Robby didn't cry. I guess that means he is growing up. I still cried though. I am so thankful for Jesus' sacrifice for me. I am humbled at his grace and power and thankful that I have the gospel in my life, that I may return to live with him again.

This Easter snuck up on me, just as everything else has this year. I am beginning to realize that this year will all be a blur to me. It is going by so quickly, which is good in way. Anyhow, I had a hard time today. We have a tradition that started 13 years ago. We celebrate Easter with Aunt Patti and Uncle Kim. (except the 3 years that we were in Germany, which was hard on me as well.) We usually have a huge feast and all the grand kids, hunt for Easter eggs. Uncle Kim always fills one of the eggs with a dollar coin which the kids love. But this year it was just us. We dyed Easter eggs after our nap on Sunday. We even blew eggs this year. I thought it was so funny to watch the kids faces when they began to try and blow the egg. It was fun.


They didn't get much from the Easter Bunny. (Who knew that Easter would be such a huge thing here) The Easter Bunny must have been really busy!!! They were still excited that they got such a big chocolate bunny though!


I hope everyone had a great Easter. Love to all of you!
