Easter

For Easter we celebrate the day Jesus Christ over come death and rose from the grave.  He took upon him the pain of our sins so we too could rise from death also and return to heaven and have forgiveness of our sins.

We keep this in remembrance throughout the day.  We also had LDS General Conference this weekend so we were able to listen to talks by church leaders from home.

We also did some Easter Egg hunting for the children.

 The adults watched from the deck.  They had an Easter Egg hunt too that was organized by Caleb.

 Tucker and Andrew.  They were a little less calm in their hunting for eggs.

Easter is a good time to remember what Jesus did for us and to be with family.  Thank you Caleb, Doranda, Bob, Tucker, Penelope, Scarlett, Leon, Malachi, Layne, Andrew, Mallory, Talitha, and David for sharing Easter with us, and for those we talked to on the phone also.
