More Easter

So to finish up all of the Easter festivities, we got together with some of Matt's family on Easter Sunday. After church we went to his dad's house and had our first weenie roast of the season. It was so great to be outside(there is a lot of people to fit into a house) and the weather really cooperated. It would have been nice if it was warmer, but I know that will happen in time. We had a ton of food, salads and desserts to go with our hot dogs and had a great dinner. Then the kids had another egg hunt and by this time, Parker was a pro. He ran out the door and started picking up eggs left and right. By the time he was finished his basket was overflowing. He now knows what to do. Even Paige got the right idea and she was able to get a few eggs in her basket. We now have an overflowing abundance of Easter candy. Some of which got put in the freezer for a day when chocolate is in need. I am not sure what to do with the rest of it, I know if it stays around too long, it will be on my hips!! Anyways I just want to tell Matt's parents thanks for a fun filled Easter!!!
Now for the real reason for Easter, I can't not post about the wonderful miracle that makes Easter so special. I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation. I am grateful to a Father in Heaven that gave His only Son so that we can have eternal life. I am so grateful for that spring day when Christ was resurrected so that too can be resurrected one day. I am so grateful for the Gospel in my life and the wonderful blessing we receive from it. I hope you all have had a great Easter season and the beginning of a new year!
