Starting the Sunday before Easter, our family spent time each day learning about the events that took place on that day of the week during the last week of Christ's life. We learned some new things we didn't know, started some fun new traditions, and strengthened our testimonies. It was a good week. One of the things we did was make a timeline of pictures each day as we talked about the events. Another thing we did was set up a Love One Another Station. When someone did a kind deed, they wrote it on a paper, put it in the bucket, and took a candy. We did that throughout the week and on Easter we read all the good deeds in the bucket. Most of them were just small kind acts, and we talked about how much good was done last week in just small acts of kindness. On Thursday we learned about the Passover. We didn't actually have a Passover Seder, but we tried some of the foods they eat and learned their meaning.
On Friday, we colored eggs.
Then we all went to see the movie Heaven Is For Real. When we got home from the movie, Zac and I went in to make dinner and Steve and the girls went to talk to the horses.
On Saturday we went to our Annual Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt and Luncheon.
Saturday night we made Easter Story Cookies.
On Sunday we went to church. Emily spoke in Sacrament meeting and she did a fantastic job. After church my mom and Lauren came over for lunch/dinner.
I had to sneak this picture of Zac wearing my apron. He was helping in the kitchen.
I hated to disturb their after meal snooze, but we had all been in church clothes waiting to take pictures for about 7 hours at this point in time.
My beautiful children!
After taking pictures we went to place Easter lilies on my father's grave. It is hard to believe it has been 6 years. I am so grateful for my Savior, my testimony of the gospel and the knowledge that families are forever.
