Easter

Easter Sunday is my favorite Sunday.  (I do love Mother's day too)  I love the feeling I get on Easter Sunday when I think of all the our Savior did for each of us individually.  His life was all about us!  His life was one of service.  He was always serving others. His life was about love.  He loved His father so much that he did His will always.  He loved us so much that he atoned for each one of us individually.

Because of Jesus Christ we all get to see our Heavenly Parents again.  Because of Him we will be with our families forever.  Because of Him we get to repent and start over as many times as we need. Because of Him there are no endings.  Because of Him no good-byes are forever.  Because of Him my life has meaning and purpose and I am happy.

I am so thankful for Jesus Christ and his life.  I am so thankful for the primary songs that taught me about Jesus when I was little.  I still love singing them.  I am so thankful that I continually get to know Him better as I live my life and depend on him.  I have learned He is always there for me and each of us.  I am thankful that He lives.....I testify He does!  I testify He loves us and is with us! (always)
I do focus on Jesus but still enjoy the celebrations and traditions that go with this Holiday.  I love filling these cute buckets for my kids.  I love being creative with the things that go in these buckets.  This year I was pleased that Salami was left in them...so were the kids.  I love our buckets!
Since the whole family was together last week we didn't see everyone this week.  I am glad that Justin and his family were able to still come.  I look forward to Sundays and being together.

I loved hearing the excitement from my grands as they told me about their Easter.  Mya was so excited that she was talking so fast it didn't make sense.  She was so excited to show me her sandals that are high heels.  She is growing up so fast and is so cute.

Parker told me how he picked matching ties for him and his daddy.  Natalie had tried to convince him to get a tie that was pastel so they could also wear them to the wedding.  She couldn't so she had Justin take him to the store to pick out their ties.  He looked at the ties and said no, no, no, no, yes, no, no.  He picked the exact tie Natalie had tried to talk him out of.  It was black and gray I guess. So cute....he knows what he wants.

Macie looked so cute in her purple dress.  Macie didn't want to smile or talk to me today so when I held her I mostly had her looking away.

Oh it's so fun seeing my kids as parents.  They are all such good parents.  I love them all....I love the little's that join their families....they are the cutest!
