Easter!

This year Easter was special for two reasons. First, Easter and general conference fell on the same weekend and I love when that happens. Second, it was Daniel's first Easter! It was perfect to be able to stay at home and hang out in our pajamas and relax all weekend but especially on Easter. For Easter Daniel got 2 books (one from Grandma and papa and the other from the Easter bunny) and we bought a bunch of eggs for him to play with. He has a turtle ball pit and we replaced the balls with Easter eggs! He loved it! The eggs (all 50 of them) were all over the living room in minutes haha







Mike and I also got Easter baskets for each other (more like Easter piles since we don't have baskets) We always get a book since those are a tradition in Mike's family and I always get a bunny so a chocolate bunny is always included with my candy. After we got our Easter baskets opened we had a yummy breakfast of German pancakes :)



After the first session of General Conference, we took our little Easter bunny outside and attempted to take some pictures. It was a beautiful day and Daniel was happy when we were holding him. We learned he doesn't like prickly grass though since he got upset when we sat him on the ground without a blanket.




It was a great Easter! Hard to believe next year we'll be in Vegas for Easter :) Our little bunny had a great day though and it made the whole day a lot more fun with him around. I loved watching Easter videos with him. We watched a video on youtube about Christ's resurrection that was 2 minutes long and Daniel was so focused on it. I'm grateful to my Savior for dying for me and I'm grateful that he lives again so that I can be with my family forever and live with him again too. I'm grateful that the Savior loves me enough to die for me so that I can repent and strive to be better each day and I'm grateful he sent me my own little boy to teach and love. The Easter baskets are fun and so are the eggs and candy but the resurrection of the Savior is the reason we celebrate Easter and I am grateful for that blessing.

Happy Easter everyone!
