cEaster started a week early when Brayden's school class did a easter egg hunt at Highland Ranch Park. There were thousands of eggs scattered all across the grass and it only took about 3-4 minutes for the kids to race around and get them picked up. It was a blast. They also had a section for siblings so Connor and Logan got to enjoy an Easter egg hunt as well.
Then Easter morning came. We had the kids hunt for their baskets first because they were hidden. Then after they enjoyed their baskets for a little while we had them sit and watch the cartoon version of "He is Risen", a video about the Savior's resurrection. My family was in town and came to our church because they wanted to behold the singing of our bishopric performing our special musical number "There is a green hill far away". It turned out pretty good. I think many in the congregation were surprised :)
After church we raced to Carlsbad and had another easter egg hunt which was a lot of fun. After a wonderful dinner we had a special FHE about Christ. This was a great way to end this special day. The spirit radiated through the room and I was filled with gratitude that we have days specifically set aside to remember the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
So grateful to spend Easter with family that we love and celebrate the true meaning of this special day.
