Easter

Easter is by far my favorite holiday. While most people relish the Christmas season, I have always loved Easter Sunday.  I love reflecting on the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is because of him that we are able to have joy in this life. Through the Atonement we can find peace and joy in the darkest part of life. Easter brings with it Spring and new life. I love the symbolism. We took Genivieve to the Mesa Temple visitor center to look at all of the large paintings of Christ's life and talked about each one. It made my heard sing to hear her repeat words like crucifixion and resurrection. I know she is young, but I am amazed at how much she can understand. Her spirit knows the truth.

This Easter was Luke's first Sunday at church and it was great to be there as a family.We colored eggs on Saturday and I don't think I have been that stressed in my life! Next year it will be an outside on the grass event, not in the kitchen! We made it to 9am church (early!) and then home for lunch and naps. When had Easter Dinner with Brent's family and an Easter Egg hunt for his little sisters and G.

G loved dunking eggs
