Easter Weekend

This past weekend we had a fun little Easter. There were no city Easter Egg hunts this year (at least not in our area) so all the Mom's from our little Pre-school decided to get together and have one at a park. Every mom brought some eggs and we did it in between Conference Sessions. The kids had a blast! Except for Abby, she was a little sick and just did not want to be there. But she did all right.

After the kids got home they loved opening their eggs and seeing what was inside. Especially Abby, every time she opened an egg she said "Wow!" and was fascinated that there was stuff inside. However, she had no interest in eating the candy. Benjamin didn't mind eating it for her!

Later that night after Abby was in bed we decorated Easter Eggs! Benjamin got a kick out of dying the eggs and then sticking Stickers on them.

Also this weekend we got to listen to our church leaders speak at our Semi-Annual General Conference. It seemed that many of the talks were focused on the family and several specifically were about motherhood and the importance of teaching our children and being there for them. It was very inspiring and made me feel good to know that I am doing the right thing. There were also several messages about the Savoir and his glorious Resurrection (After all it was Easter Sunday)! It was such a beautiful Conference and what a great way to Celebrate Easter! Remembering that we have this Holiday because Christ Rose again. He lives! He overcame death so that we might live again and have the opportunity to live with him if we but keep his commandments. I love this video and wanted to share it. Happy Easter everyone!
