The Easter bunny came for Mike and I too :) We got some yummy candy and great books!
The boys were so excited on Saturday morning to see what the Easter bunny had brought them. Daniel was hopping down the hall and had the biggest smile on his face. (The Easter bunny did have to go get 2 more dinosaurs for Daniel after he saw what Liam had). The biggest hit were the wind up bunny and chick. I made apple cream cheese muffins for breakfast on Sunday morning which were a hit for our Easter breakfast!
Even though we didn't have to go to church on Easter because of general conference, I put the boys in their Easter clothes anyway for pictures. Don't they look so handsome!
I wanted to make a special treat for the boys for Easter so I made a 6 inch triple layer funfetti cake with jelly beans inside! It seemed like a good idea at the time but with all the other treats we had we really didn't need the cake too so I'll have to make one again when its the only treat we have, not one of 3 plus candy.
The true reason we celebrate Easter is the Savior and his atonement and resurrection. We talked about the story of Christ's resurrection all week. When Easter morning came Daniel announced that Jesus was coming. He has had a picture of Christ emerging from the tomb for the last week and a half. I love that he wants a picture of Jesus in his room, I hope he always does.
I am grateful for Jesus Christ's atonement and resurrection and the gift that it is for me. It truly is the greatest gift. Because of Jesus I get to be with my family forever and I can return to live with Him someday.
