EASTER!

Well, this was Easter weekend. It was pretty fun. We had our family egg hunt Saturday afternoon. I went to the church bldg. and hid the eggs, and Eric brought the kids a little later. They had fun. Katie found 1 egg, then took off to go play on the nursery toys. Johny brought her back, and after she stopped screaming at him for bringing her back, she had fun finding her eggs, and trying to eat all the chocolate. Johny and Ginny's eggs were hidden a bit better than Katie's, whose eggs were just scattered on the grass. They were very excited to be able to find them all.

Sunday was a beautiful Easter day. Ginny wore her dress that Grandma Campbell made her for her birthday, and she looked very pretty and cute. Katie wore a little pink number, that had little white polka-dots all over it, and a fabric flower at the waist. She looked so pretty and cute! We were supposed to go to the car, but instead she took off across the grass calling for Daddy, who went to get something. She looked just like one of the little girls in the movies, commercials, etc. as she trotted across! Johny had a nice spring colored shirt.

Johny also got to give the Scripture and prayer in primary. He did very well. He read D&C 76:22-24.

"And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father--
That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God."
We had thought of doing verses 40-42 as well, but didn't.
"And this is the gospel, the glad tidings, which the voice out of the heavens bore record unto us--
That he came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for the world, and to bear the sins of the world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all unrighteousness;
That through him all might be saved whom the Father had put into his power and made by him"
Happy Easter Everyone!!

Sounds like it was a fun weekend. I love that scripture that Johny read. So appropriate for Easter too!

Sounds like you had a beautiful Easter. Ours was quiet - just the 2of us here. It made it easy to reflect on the meaning of Easter and it was especially poignant because we have so many friends who have died or are dying. Thank goodness for the truths in the scripture Johny read.
