Easter was kind of crazy around here this year. On the Saturday before, we poured a new sidewalk, patio, and footings (for block walls) so most of my attention had been focused on helping Jeff get everything ready for it and in planning a meal to feed all our helpers. Needless to say, Easter (the commercial side of it) was put on the back burner. We tried to focus more this year on studying the last week of the Savior's life in our nightly family scripture study and then on Sunday we read John 20. Carson is getting old enough that we explained to him about Palm Sunday and Good Friday. For FHE we watched The Lamb of God and I think it helped Carson understand a little bit more about why Jesus is so important. It was nice not to focus so much on the Easter Bunny and egg hunts and all those things that you feel you 'have' to do. Don't worry, the Easter Bunny still brought my kids baskets and thanks to my wonderful sister in law, the kids had a great Easter Egg Hunt. We also hosted Easter Dinner, so for me it was back to back cooking for a group. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with those I love most and remembering all that our Savior did for us. Oh, and to top it off, my sweetie bought me new pearl earrings for Easter. I love pearls. And Jeff.
