What its Really About

This year we tried really hard to explain the real meaning of Easter to Avery.  We tried not to talk about bunnies and baskets too much.  We tried to focus on the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  We had a really good Easter lesson where we talked about Jesus and then we watch an animated video about the resurrection.  Avery really got into it.  He was so concerned for Jesus on the Christ, but understood that He did it for us to be happy.  We want him and everyone to know that we do have a testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ!  He lives! And we are so grateful for all He has done for us!
So for a reminder of what its really about, here is a couple of videos from "Mormon Messages"put out by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints about our Savior and the true reason of Easter.

Easter Adventures

Better late than never! Here are the restour Easter Adventures!

Coloring Easter Eggs with some friends.  Avery really got into it this here.  He had to put the egg in the dye all by himself using the little wire holder.

We went to our niece's baptism the Saturday before Easter.  After the baptism, we had a fun Easter Egg hunt.  Lily sure got into the spirit.  She would not let anyone come near, let alone touch her egg basket.  Both kids came out of it with alot of loot!

Easter Sunday was great! We were at Amanda's parent's house for the day.  We did all the fun stuff after church.  We had more egg coloring, another egg hunt and just some fun together!  Lily was asleep while everyone else was looking for their baskets, but we still hid it after she woke up.
