Easter

Easter weekend was a whirlwind event. We headed down to Utah to watch Felicity and Ella perform at their ballet recital. After the recital all the kids stayed home while the adults went to dinner to celebrate Jason and Michelle's birthdays. While we were out the kids all raced around to clean and decorate the house for Michelle. They also baked her birthday cupcakes. 

Next morning was Easter. We all got ready for church and then the kids had an Easter egg hunt. 

This Easter wasn't as peaceful and reflective on our Savior Jesus Christ as I would have liked it to be. But we did get one thing right...spending time with family. 

I am so grateful to my Savior for his sacrifice for me. He suffered in Gethsemane and took my sins upon him and then he died on the cross for me so that I would be able to repent of my sins and return to my Heavenly Father. He did this for everyone. And because of him we can all have the blessing of belonging to an eternal family. I love all my family so much and rejoice in the comfort of knowing that we can be a family forever.
