"In our hour of deepest sorrow, we can receive profound peace from the words of the angel that first Easter morning; 'He is not here; for He is risen."
To know that in the sorrow and fear that often comes with the absence of someone we love, there is also great joy and peace in knowing that they will rise again someday, and that as long as we live our lives worthy of our Savior's great sacrifice, we too can see them again! Alex and I have experienced losses in our life-an unborn child, a parent, and a dear friend- but through their passing, we have come to a greater appreciation for life & for our Savior, and feel so blessed this Easter day for the Atonement and Resurrection.
This Easter was such a treat with Lucas because he's at the age now where Easter Egg Hunts and Easter baskets filled with goodies are actually fun! Tradition in my family has always been to set out our baskets the night before & then come down the next morning, one by one, and see what the Easter bunny dropped off. Check out the video below to see Lucas's easter excitement!
Afterwards, we got dressed up for church! I'm so blessed to be surrounded by such handsome men :)
After church, we picked up my sister Lauren, and headed over to Grandpa & Grandma's house! We ate delicious food & spent the time talking and laughing at the table. Afterwards, Alex ran outside and 'hid' the Easter eggs & the egg hunt began!
Alex had to help Lucas along because Lucas has this new dislike for grass & the way it feels on his feet! It's soooo funny!
It was a wonderful day! I miss those we couldn't be with today, but carry their love in my heart.
Happy Easter!
