Easter 2013

This happens to be my favorite photo from the day. Smile kids… it’s Easter! Click!
Abe – ready.
Hannah – itchy nose.
Max – sun too bright.
Liza – uhhh… who knows.
Tru – Too sunny.

Very honestly these are pictures that bring me joy and I want to hang them on our wall. These depict our every day more than perfectly posed photos (though I do love those too… as they give me hope that we are somewhat put together).

Today was a nice Easter. We did Easter Bunny/baskets, egg hunt yesterday. Loved that. We talked about each day the week of the Savior’s resurrection. Great lessons learned, especially about the symbolism of passover and Christ, the Lamb of God.

We spent some time in nature this morning enjoying God’s creations and the glorious sunshine. It was good for everyone’s soul… especially little Tru-Tru. He loves throwing rocks in the pond.

We had a nice Easter Fast Sunday at church. Truman gave a talk on “Jesus Christ is our Savior.” (he only said ‘I can do it myself.’ 3 or 4 times. I was grateful he repeated anything I whispered in his ear – at all. He’s still cute).

We had the Smith kids over for our non-traditional Easter dinner of Tacos. Who has tacos on Easter? I think we had hamburgers last year. Oh well… I guess our tradition is to be nontraditional. Sigh…

Alright – I guess I’ll give this picture a close second for the day. Liza & Tru smiling in the same photo. Miraculous.
My favorite thought of the week leading up to Easter.
