Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is easily turning into my favorite Holiday.  The peace, joy and excitement that surrounds this day means everything.  Taking the time to explain to our girls the reason we celebrate Easter was extra special.  I was full of all sorts of emotions on Sunday.  I am ever grateful for my Savior, for his perfect example and the price he paid that I shall have ever lasting life.  I know he lives and celebrate his resurrection. 

Mosiah 16:8-9

8 But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. 9 He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.

The weekend was packed full of festivities.  The girls had so much fun on their egg hunts.  P can't stop talking about finding the golden egg, in which contained a one dollar bill.  She pretty much felt on top of the world.  The endless amounts of candy consumption and family time was enjoyed by all. We didn't end up getting around to dying easter eggs and half of the things I ordered for their Easter baskets didn't show up, but the girls didn't know the difference and were thrilled with the outcome.

We enjoyed attending our church meetings, naps and more family time and of course more food.  Now time to take down the pastel colors and embrace a clean clutter free house.... until the next holiday.
