Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone, I thought I would share some recent pictures of the Kids all dress up for Easter Sunday.  It was a beautiful sunny day today, and Easter was in the air.  I am so grateful for this time of year to celebrates Christ's Resurrection and the promise it brings to all of us.  I hope your Easter was filled with the Love of the Savior and it was a wonderful day for all.

Dancing Girls

So I decided to turn up the radio and have the girls dance in the parking lot to the park, while we waited for my sister to arrive.  The girls had a blast!! I love the break dancing by Kate.  The running  in a circle with her hands over her head move Jane does is so funny.  Oh and Kate's attempt to do the worm cracks me up every time I watch this. I think Kate has been playing to much Just Dance on the Wii, see if you can recognize some of the moves.....Enjoy!

Easter Story

A few years ago my mom bought me a book to read to my children for Easter.  I didn't know it than but it's been a family favorite and a tradition that we  read it together each Easter Season. .  I love this book because it explains how the world sees Easter and connects it to the Real Easter Story.  So each time they see a something in their Easter baskets they can remember what each color means in the real Easter Story. We read this story as a family for Family Home Evening  this week to get ready for this Easter Sunday coming up.  All the kids really seem to understand better the real meaning for this Easter Season, by such a simple book.  We are looking forward to Easter this Sunday and Celebrating our Savior Jesus Christ his love for us and all he has done to help us return to our Heavenly Father.

 The Colors in this basket are own special way for me to tell the story of that first Easter day.

The Green inside my basket is like the palms that lay upon the ground for Jesus for his parade one day.

The Purple in my basket reminds me of the time, that Jesus shared with his friends a meal of bread and wine.

The Red inside my basket reminds me it is true,that Jesus loves us so he died for me and you.

The Brown inside my basket as dark as in a cave,reminds me of the sad place that was our Jesus' grave.

The White inside my basket is like the angel bright,who gladly said, "He is Risen! Our Jesus is all right.

The yellow in my Basket that matches the bright sun, reminds me of that Easter and what our God has done.

The Colors in this basket I use in my own way to tell the wondrous story of that first Easter day.

Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in me will have life even if he dies, And he who lives and believes in me will never die.  (John 11:25)
