Easter

I just love Easter. I love the true meaning behind Easter. I think today many people get confused and think that Easter is about Bunny who brings you things. That is not what Easter is suppose to be about. It is to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At General Conference last week Elder Jeffery R. Holland a true living Apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints gave this amazing talk found below.

of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Today we went to Joe's parents Ward. We had a nice time there. That Ward will always be my home ward. I grew up in it. I know most of everyone and they know me. It is just a loving and close knit ward. Moving out of the ward for me was a hard thing. I always enjoy visiting it. The people who gave talk today gave some wonderful talks about the resurrection and on the Saviors atonement. The spirit was so strong in the sacrament meeting. After the closing prayer the teachers left to prepare for the classes but the rest of us stayed and sang "He Has Risen". Once again the spirit was so strong. I got goose bumps as I sang.

After Church we went to lunch at Joe's parents house. We had a little Easter Egg hunt for Sophie. We actually just laid the eggs on the ground and told her to find the eggs and put them in the basket, and we cheered as she did this. She had so much fun. After picking up all 26 eggs and putting them in her basket she said: "again?" haha it was really cute. So we did it over and over a few times. Each time she loaded her basket she began to talk to go back inside dragging her basket behind her. As she did this she left a little trail of eggs behind her. It was so adorable. Once she realized that she did this she would say "Oh..O!" and then turn around put them in her basket again. This happened about 3 times. We couldn't help but to just giggle. :)

Sophie is a funny little girl. She loves to have areas clean. If we go on a walk and she sees some trash on the ground, she will say "Oh....O!" and then pick it up and hand it to me. She will also do this as we go shopping.If she see trash or a shirt on the floor she will say "Oh...O!" and try to pick it up. she is such a little helper.

As a few side notes.... The dress I am wearing was once my grandma Payne's when she was in her 40's. She gave it to me a few years ago. The dress was down to my toes so I took it to get altered. I absolutely love it and think it is so neat that I can wear a dress that she wore when she was a little younger. The dress is special to me for that reason. They did not have to take it in on the waist, but they had to take it in on the bust. She was one HOT MAMA! She is still a very beautiful woman. Joe joked and said that's why they had so many kids. :)

Also today we went to church after just eating breakfast. During Sacrament Sophie burped. Directly after she burped she said" "Mmmmmmm......". She will say this when ever she like some thing she is eating. We think she must have tasted her breakfast. Maybe that was just a little too much to share but we found it funny at the time.

We truly enjoyed this Easter Day remembering our Savior and spending time with family.
