Happy Easter Everyone!

We had the very best Easter! It started out with a wonderful sacrament meeting. The music was beautiful and the talks were wonderful! They were beautiful talks about the Savior and the spirit there was so strong. Heidi gave one of the talks. She always amazes me. She's kind of a private kid, so it's fun to get a glimpse into her head and what she is thinking! Her talk was on the Atonement. It was a very special talk to me with some "behind the word" meanings that no one else probably understood, but me. I was in awe listening to her speak and was touched by her words! The second speaker was a returned missionary. All I can say is WOW! I enjoyed his talk and his enthusiasm for the gospel. His love for the Savior was evident. The future of the church is in good hands!

I got to help in the nursery for the next two hours. My friend Caroline is the nursery leader and is understaffed. It was fun to go in there and be with her and my friend Krista. We worked together in Young Womens so it is fun to work together still - although the children we are with are quite a bit younger! :)

Our girls had beautiful Easter dresses! Holli made her dress and was the inspiration for the color we went with! I already had my dress and so we all had aqua on! Vaughan was even sporting an aqua and black tie! He's such a good sport! I bought jewelry from Theresa. She does such a wonderful job, and it all looked amazing!


After church I came home and got our Easter feast ready! The Bitter family came over and shared it with us! It was so yummy! We were pretty traditional - ham, cheesy potatoes, homemade rolls, caesar salad and chineese chicken salad. For dessert Hillary made this yummy frozen stuff! I don't even know what it was called! But think oreo crust, chocolate icecream, chocolate fudge with toffee bits and then whipped cream! YUMMMMM! It was to die for!

Then some of the family played games and Theresa and I scrap booked! Well, that is, created with paper! It was such a fun and relaxing day!

I've always loved Easter - the time to spend with family and friends, a time to reflect on the infinite love the Savior has shown me and continues to every day! I'm so grateful for a loving Savior and for the atonement and what it means to me. It brings so much peace when we really allow the atonement and the love of the Savior into our lives! He lives! And He loves us!
