Easter Baskets

The Easter bunny is pretty inconsistent at our house.  Sometimes, he just brings candy and other times he brings extra stuff.  This year he brought the kids some extra stuff.  Jonah was thrilled with his Pokemon and Caitlyn loved her adult coloring book and crayons and colored pencils.

Hallee and Wyatt found their baskets while Keith and I were still in bed, stinkers!  They were thrilled with their new toys and treats.  Wyatt was especially excited about his new scripture case. He has been wanting one for a long time!

We did our Easter celebrations on Friday and Saturday so we could focus on Christ on Sunday.  Katie gave me that idea a couple of years ago and I love it.  We had a great Sacrament Meeting on Easter.  The choir sang a lot of songs and it was great!  After church we had a family home evening lesson on Easter.  It was one of those nice times when everyone was engaged and listening.  I'm so grateful for my Savior.  I know I don't comprehend everything He went through for us, but I am so grateful for His sacrifice.  I think everyone feels alone and like no one understands them sometimes.  I have always found comfort and strength in the fact that I have a Savior who understands me perfectly and knows exactly how I feel.  He knows I am trying even when I feel like I am failing miserably.  Christ really is the Prince of Peace and a source of Hope that I can't find anywhere else.
