Easter

The kids were overjoyed that Easter finally arrived. They have looked forward to it for a long time. I'm hoping they sensed the specialness of Easter Sunday and learned something about the resurrection of our Savior.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at my parents. We did the activity where you read the scripture that goes with each symbol in the little easter eggs. My Grandma Beck who is nearly 91, bore her testimony that the older she gets, the more important the doctrine of the Resurrection is to her... and that death is not to be feared but a glorious transition.

I wish I had pictures with everyone there. Here are the ones with our fam.A few years ago Jimmy and I wrote our testimony as an Easter gift to Hannah. I thought it would be a neat tradition to have the family write a little testimony of Jesus every year. It seems like with every season of my life depending on circumstances, I focus on different aspects of my testimony of the Atonement.

We had an FHE about Jesus and tried to help the kids understand a few basic elements of what a testimony is. Then we asked them what they knew about Jesus and wrote down what they said. I still need to gather Jimmy's written testimony, but this page, when finished, will go in our family scrapbook album. Abe says a few times a week that he wants to see Jesus. I love how pure his heart is.
