Happy Easter

 

These two sillies had a lovely Easter, as did Jonny and I. We did the usual egg coloring and hiding and hunting, baskets, and a great dinner with my family. Jonny and I both taught lessons on Sunday so it was nice for us to prepare and study about the Savior all week. We had a home evening lesson about Easter last Monday. It went something like this: 

              

Jonny asks, "Julia, do you know what Easter is about?"

Julia answers while Gabe runs around the couch like a crazy man, "The Easter Bunny! He hides eggs and we find them!" 

Jonny proceeds with a brief lesson on the Savior's life, death, and resurecction. 

(Gabe chants "Theethuth!" while running around the couch.) 

After looking at some pictures and singing a nice song, Jonny asks Julia, "So, what is Easter all about?" 

Julia answers enthusiastically, "The Easter Bunny hides eggs!" 

The End. 

But not quite. That night while praying Julia thanked Heavenly Father that "Jesus got died and was es-er-ected and that means he was alive again." And I'm pretty sure she also expressed gratitude for the Easter Bunny in that prayer. I was more than satisfied.

 Gabe took the liberty of cracking open a freshly-colored egg and eating it immediately. (Shell and all - until we stopped him!) 

 

I thought I might as well put more pics on a slide show. The kids made such funny faces when we were trying to get a picture of them outside. And Jonny caught some classic Gabe expressions before church. Check them out if you are interested...
