Easter Weekend!

I've come down from my SUGAR HIGH just in time to go to the dentist today!!! I made and ATE so many treats this weekend! Highlights of the weekend included: an egg hunt with our wonderful neighbors, a fun package from Pooh-pa and Grandma Blunck, Easter surprises from Grandma Hobson, coloring Easter eggs, a new book, movie, and game for the kiddos, our traditional bunny rolls (I wasn't going to do them, but that tradition thing gets me every time!), PLENTY of left-overs since we did Easter dinner by ourselves, playing Battleship with the boys, and my new favorite tradition...making Easter puffs! My Mom and Dad sent us the directions for retelling the Easter story using the scriptures and the ingredients to make cream puffs. It's a darling way to get the children involved and helped them to make some connections that they otherwise would miss in just reading the scriptures. I cried when we unsealed the oven door and read Matthew 28:6, and then again when we filled them and read John 3:16. A new tradition for sure!!! I am so thankful to feel my Savior's love in my life. I'm thankful to know that He died for us, and that He lives!!! We watched "The Lamb of God" before bed Sunday night, and I was reminded just how much our Savior went through and that he truly understands the things we each go through!
