How was your Easter? Ours was amazing. Probably one of the most memorable Easters I can remember. We decided to do baskets and hunting eggs on Saturday so we could keep Sunday special and focus on the resurrection.
The picture is from the kids finding their baskets. Inside they got some new pajamas from their grandma and grandpa and a tye-dye shirt from their Aunt Jessica. They loved them and I thought they looked so cute.
I have decided next year we are going to change Easter even more. We are going to celebrate the week of Easter and talk, eat or in some way do what Christ did each of those days. It just really hit me that we celebrate Christ's birth more than his resurrection and one of the biggest differences between what we believe and what other churches believes is that HE LIVES! Not just that He was born and died but HE LIVES. That is what is most important and that is what we should focus on, because as the scriptures say, "why seek ye the living among the dead?" Christ lives and this Easter season has really made me understand that and apply it to my own life even more. Our bishop challenged us to start "Jesus the Christ" right after Christmas and finish on Easter. I have never read it before and it had a profound effect on my Easter season and how I view our Saviour. I would encourage all of you to try it. I hope that all of you had a marvelous Easter season and that your know that Christ LIVES for you!

Agree with celebrating His resurrection. The Beards talks really made me think, especially as we start our family. It's not about the eggs, baskets, and candy. It's about our Savior and the resurection. We do know He Lives! and we need to think about that more.
