Easter

I love Easter. The message of hope it gives me deserves far more than just one day to celebrate! We did some of our usual Easter traditions with dying Easter eggs. 

Deacon wasn't too excited at first, but then he dyed some eggs. 

We were in charge of dessert for Easter dinner, so the girls made fondant to create bunny cupcakes :)

I attempted egg fruit pizzas. They tasted better than they looked, thankfully. 

We went on a small Easter egg hunt for their baskets and eggs. 

We got to have a wonderful Sacrament meeting and then headed over to my parents house for Easter dinner. 

I sure love this family of mine. We had a nice dinner and celebration with my family, parents, and sister Natalie. This Easter has been one where I truly have to cling to the knowledge of the gospel. I have to hold on to the knowledge of our Savior being able to make everything right and allow forgiveness and hope. My brother Chris' family we haven't seen since last year as we have been told we are unable to contact them. It has been very difficult and even harder on the kids as days like Easter they desperately want to be with their cousins. I miss my brother and I miss who he was to me. I pray that the Easter feeling won't be forgotten and I can keep that hope that someday our family will reunite, truth will be restored, and we can be a whole family again. I am grateful the Christ gave His all for that to be possible. I love Him and am forever grateful for that gift.
