Easter Bunny Delivery 2015

 The Easter Bunny came and went and in the end left some cool things, such as: New Church clothes, new tennis shoes, socks, underwear and Big Hero 6.

Happy Easter 2014

Today is Easter. This year the kids were more into the Easter Bunny coming which made this little holiday a little bit more fun. However between Jeremy and I we tried to really talk to the kids about what Easter is and was all about. 

I am so thankful for my savior. I know I don't share my feelings much, but through all of the he hard times that Jeremy and I have been through I know that he was there for us. I am so grateful for eternal families and that our family is sealed together forever. I am thankful for the sacrifice that Jesus did, dying on the cross so that our sins will be forgiven. He is the true son of Heavenly Father.

Easter Sunday

Each and every year I feel that the meaning of Easter is always behind the main thing tend to look forward to, a bunny visiting to deliver goodies, when realistic this day is celebrated for all of the things our Savior has done for us and what he did for us. That we can make mistakes and repent so that we can return to him one day.

He Is Risen

A testimony of the reality of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a source of both hope and determination. And it can be so for any child of God. It was for me on a summer day in June 1969 when my mother died, it has been all the years since, and it will be until I see her again.

 

Sadness from the temporary separation was immediately replaced with happiness. It was more than a hope for a happy reunion. Because the Lord has revealed so much through His prophets and because the Holy Ghost has confirmed the truth of the Resurrection to me, I can see in my mind what it will be like to be reunited with our sanctified and resurrected loved ones:

 

“These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just. …

“These are they whose names are written in heaven, where God and Christ are the judge of all.

“These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood” (D&C 76:65, 68–69).

 

In the end the little hoppity bunny found its way to our house to deliver some little goodies.

 

 

What a fun, peaceful day. 

Easter Saturday

This year we decided to continue with the Saturay tradition of Easter at Grandma Heinrich' house. So we decided to meet at 3 pm that day for dinner and the traditional hunting for eggs. Jeremy the kids and I headed to Mom's a little earlier to see what damage we could help with. My dear mother, always working way hard to make things look so nice had most of everything done. This is the adult table, always festive.

 

Shortly after Logan showed up with a veggie and shrimp tray for some appetizing.

 

 

Brooke then came showing up with her delicious drink and some way cute bunny cupcakes.

 

The kids table set up so nicely for them.

 

The crazy cousins, from Left to Right:

Riley (6), Abi (3), Zack (4), Kaymbria (2) and Jack (3)

What a cute group they are.

 

After the delicious dinner and a little clean up, the hunting for eggs began. The kids started on the patio and found all of the eggs in like a minute.  Once the eggs throughout the patio were found off to the walkway.

 

 

In total there were 76 eggs and the kids found them all in about 5 minutes. After the egg collecting we headed down stairs to put on a movie for the kids while some of the bigger kids (Mom, Landon, Cristy, Logan and myself) played Monopoly. I will be honest it has been quite a while since I have played that game and man those other peeps are quite vicious. I lasted quite a while, but in the end Logan won and the battle was mainly between Landon and Logan.

 

Dessert awaited us with such coconut sweetness that we were all in a sugar coma by the end.

 

Thank you Mom, for always hosting a fun Easter.
