Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone! We had a nice weekend. On Saturday we went to the city Easter Egg Hunt and as you can see from the picture the kids got to visit with the Easter Bunny. They had a lot of fun running and gathering eggs & treats in their baskets.
On Sunday we had a little Family Home Evening about the real Easter story. We went into more detail and depth that what we had on previous occasions with the kids. At 2, Emma doesn't understand much more than that Jesus loves her, which is great. Ethan just absorbed everything as we talked about the Atonement, the Resurrection, Christ visiting the Americas before he returned to Heavenly Father, etc. I could tell he was understanding more and getting what we were saying as he asked questons and looked at the pictures of the different events (from the gospel art kit, which I love!). As we talked with him about all Jesus Christ has done for us I could feel the Spirit around us confirming that what we were teaching our children was true. There's nothing greater than feeling the Spirit when you are bearing your testimony to your children! After we were done Ethan said to me, "That was a great story, Mom!" He talked about how great it was to have holidays like Easter and Christmas where we get to celebrate things about Jesus. I agree with him. How grateful I am for my Savior's love and for the opportunity he has given us all to return to our Heavenly Father with our families. Happy Easter!
