The youngers slept in a tent in the basement Saturday night. They woke up and set out to follow the bunny trail. (Notice the little bunny on the stairs.)
They were excited to find a stash of treats. After church they showed off the eggs that they decorated yesterday. We had a great primary activity on Saturday with an Easter theme. The kids got to go to an Easter Museum and see several artifacts as they went through the Easter story. They saw the 30 silver coins/ rock in Gethsemane/ Peter's sword/ Pilot's wash basin/cross/ nails/ spear/ vinegar and the empty tomb where Christ was buried. Then Mary Magdalene came and spoke about what it might have been like to find the empty tomb and then see the risen Savior. It was a very touching presentation and our teachers did a great job. Brigham also filled in for two of the "stations" and was awesome. Then they walked through an art gallery with 20 or so pictures of the Savior. It was a great reminder of what we are celebrating this Easter season. How grateful we are to our Savior for his amazing love for us. My friend gave a talk in sacrament this morning and shared this quote which I fell in love with. True love doesn't have a happy ending, because true love never ends. She related that to the Savior's love for us. I think I am going to have to get that printed up in vinyl and put on my wall somewhere. Love it! Today we had our traditional Easter dinner with all the fixins and played some fun games. I have such a fun family. They are the best and I want them forever! How grateful I am to Christ for making that possible! Happy Easter to all of you!
