Easter

The boys were very excited for Easter. It is nice that they understand why we celebrate Easter, but they still have their imaginations, and like the fun stuff. We really enjoyed getting ready for Easter, and having Easter, and talking about Easter. Here are the pictures of the boys doing their Easter Morning Egg Hunt at home.

Our Crazy Boys! Love those Baseball Baskets!

AJ would pick up one egg, skip five, then pick up another, skip five more...

Ashton's basket was full in no time! He filled his basket 3 times!

The boys really enjoyed Easter and the egg hunt. The parents really enjoyed watching them work together to find the eggs, and share the candy.

Easter was a great day to remeber our Savior, and all he did for us. It was a rather busy day for our family as well. The Primary Presidency was asked to speak in Sacrament Meeting. Alyson's topic was "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus". There was so much to say, and so many wonderful thoughts in the March Ensign. The talk was about our Savior's example, and how He showed us the will of our Heavenly Father. It was taken from the Sharing Time, prepared for the children, the week before. The Primary Presidency did well, and it was nice to hear so many thoughts on our Savior, Jesus Christ.

In Primary, Ashton gave a talk. He did a wonderful job! He does so well in front of others. Jeff and the Sunbeams shared the Nephite Easter Story, for sharing time. That was fun, and a change from the Easter Story that had been shared so many times that day. It was neat to see the kids faces, when they heard that after Christ's resurrection, he appeared the to the Nephites.

Our family has a testimony of Jesus Christ. And we are so grateful for the Atonement, and that we can be saved, if we repent, and live righteously. We are thankful for the resurrection, and the hope that it gives each of us. We love the Savior, and the church. We hope that all of you enjoyed your Easter, and your contemplations of our Savior.
