Easter

This year our Easter was relaxed. Nothing big. The Easter bunny didn't forget us though. He came and brought each of us a basket of some sort. 

Nathan and David's easter can's got hidden. The Easter bunny knew Uncle David and Nathan don't really love baskets like me so he knew David needed a trash can and both of them got an Easter can instead.

Uncle David got an earful of chastening for something here!

 

I got a cute pink basket and Kamden got an awesome baseball basket bag (I don't know what to call it)!

We had basket fun in the morning and then went to our church meetings. Afterwards we didn't do anything crazy for dinner. In fact, I don't even remember what we ate.

Either way, it doesn't matter because we enjoyed ourselves and really enjoyed our time together and the reminder of our Savior. 

During the week before Easter we started an Easter countdown for FHE the monday before Easter. It had something of value to do every day, usually some kind of service, reminding someone we love them, or reading the Easter story, and a general conference talk about Easter. We weren't faithful on getting it all done on time and we didn't take our eggs off the countdown chain but I plan on saving it for next year when Kamden can enjoy it too!

On a more spiritual note, this Easter I was reminded of the great opportunity I have to have an eternal family through the blessings of the temple. That through the covenants we make, death cannot separate us. We will be together again after we leave our mortal bodies. Our Spirits will rejoin our bodies in a perfected state and we will join those blessed family units we created for all eternity. How blessed we are and how much we have to thank our Savior for this blessed day.

Happy Easter!
