Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter season. Lots of fun and family and tons of faith. I am so thankful for the meaning of this season, for the hope and joy it brings and for the peace of knowing that Jesus Christ lives.

Friday was a good mail day. The kids got a package, and so did I. Theirs was from Aunt Shannon, with lots (and lots) of goodies.



Lindsey got a beautiful purse. (Puhse, as she calls it.)


Cool jump ropes.

My package was the beautiful new Blackberry Chris bought for me. I am pretty excited. It's so shiny and pretty.


Joseph's pretty happy; he loves playing with my phone!


Chris took the kids to the Stake Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning. It was rainy and cold, so I elected to keep Joseph home.


They came home with more candy than I could believe, and it was the good stuff, too.
Sunday morning they were pretty happy to find even more goodies waiting for them. Joseph was very excited about his stash.







Nathaniel was a little happier than last year....but just a little.


I love this expression on Joseph's face -- like he just can't believe it!



A happy little princess.
Some outside shots before church.





Handsome boy!


And a lovely courtsey.



I have some good lookin' kids, if I do say so myself.

Overall, a great day. It's a pleasure to ponder the blessed events of Easter. As if to gently remind us, we had a cold, rainy Friday and Saturday, followed by a glorious, sunny, warm Resurrection Sunday. I know my Savior Atoned for me, died for me, and was resurrected. I realized yesterday, during the closing hymn of Sacrament Meeting, that 3 of the most beautiful words in the English language are, "He Is Risen."
