Our Best Easter

 For the past 7 years Mike and I have been trying to teach our kiddos about the true meaning of Easter and put the focus on Christ and His resurrection. It's not an easy task with little ones, but as our boys get older, I'm amazed at the gospel conversations we can have and their understanding. We had a beautiful week leading up to Easter as we read about what Christ did each day. Then, on Easter Sunday, after baskets early in the morning and reading a sweet book titled, The Easter Walk we went to a great church service where we all strengthened our testimony that our Savior lives. All those years of trying so hard when it seems like a waste of time are starting to prove that good habits and intentions get rewarded at some point.
















What's a holiday without a few tears?
The rest of the day was spent just enjoying gorgeous weather and loving our time together.Plus, we had a great meal with fantastic friends, so how can you beat that? It was a GREAT Easter.

The night before we did the traditional "egg hunt," which, no matter how old, we always love.
