Easter was really special...

We had a fun morning with the girls. It's fun when they start understanding the fun things like "the easter bunny" & (the easter PIG... "a tradition in Wes's home growing up) I, (eh hem, the easter bunny & his wife, the easter Pig),left a trail of easter eggs in Paisley's room that led out to the girls Easter baskets. Paisley woke up early that morning and ran in our room carrying the eggs and was so EGGCITED!! {I couldn't resist.} So we had her follow the eggs to the easter baskets. Acutally, since both Grandparents sent them easter goodies, it was more like Christmas Day!!! We are so lucky that they are so generous to us living away from home :)

What is even MORE fun, is when your kids start to understand, (or at least try) the reason for special Holidays. That Easter morning at breakfast, Wes and I talked to Paisley a little bit about the Atonement. It was a sweet moment for us to see Paisley's perfect mind and heart, think about Jesus and what He has done for us.

Later that day in Primary, they of course were talking about the Atonement. Paisley excitedly raised her hand and said "YEAH, MY DAD TOLD ME ABOUT THAT". It truly brings us joy and happiness to experience tender moments with our children. I think her Dad, and Heavenly Father were both happy. I'm so grateful to remember why we have Easter and for what it means to me.

*it was a tender day for me in so many ways*

Keep your eyes toward HEAVEN.
