Easter

We had a wonderful Easter celebration. Even though we were on our own, we managed to have enough candy, an Easter egg hunt, successful egg dying, a delicious Easter dinner, and of course, enjoyable time together. I'm also proud to report that I had a brilliant idea to take a couple of Easter pictures of the kids on Friday, rather than Sunday. Boy was I glad I did. Our church starts at 8:30am so when we woke up at 7:40 after a long night with Gunner we didn't have time to be as cute as we all wanted to be, or time to take all the cute pictures . :)

I loved church yesterday! Our bishop gave a great talk and said (in my interpretation- not exactly his words) that it will probably not be that surprising when we die to see that Christ had an influence in each of our lives. What will probably be surprising to us is how many times Christ has directly or indirectly influenced our lives without us recognizing- just as Mary did not recognize Christ outside the tomb and just as the apostles did not know it was him who unfolded the scriptures to them on the road to Emmaus. I am grateful for the Savior and hope to be more mindful and aware of his sacrifice and love for me. Love to you all, and Happy Easter!
