Easter

This year for Easter Aaron and I really wanted to make sure our kids understood the true meaning of the holiday. So we spent very little time talking about bunnies and eggs and a lot of time taking about Christ. We watched the Easter video Because of Him about 50 times and the kids really seemed to understand much more this year. I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and it is because of Him that each day I get to start over and try and be a better Mother, wife, friend, and sister. 

The Easter Bunny also made an appearance at our house. He brought the kids books, paints, clay, and a personal watermelon which they were beyond thrilled about. 

And he also hid some eggs in the backyard and even labeled them so the kids knew which ones belonged to whom. :)

We spent the evening with our friends eating dessert and enjoying the beautiful weather. It was a lovely day. 

Before church we attempted to get some pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes but it proved more difficult than anticipated. Luckily they are cute no matter what they're doing.
