Thank You, Easter Bunny!

This is what our hip-hoppin-ing friend left us Easter morning. The kids were very excited to show off their spoils.

And little Miss Waverly wasn't sure if it was a bomb or not!


But per protocol, the Easter Bunny brought us some new summertime suits.

After the basket browsing, we made breakfast. As we were sitting down together I asked the kids what the real meaning of Easter was all about. They didn't know, so I began to tell them the story of our Savior and his resurrection. As soon as I finished relating all the details, Laetner looks thoughtful for a moment and then exclaims, "That is a good story mom, will you tell it again?"

At church when I went to pick him up from his primary class, he was so excited that his teachers knew the same story about Jesus that we had talked about at breakfast. After church we headed over to Fischbeck's for an Easter dinner and egg hunt. Before the egg hunt, we had a little FHE to talk about the real meaning of Easter. Well all the kids were experts on the matter (after sitting thru all their classes in primary) but Laetner again thought it was the most amazing thing that everybody was talking about that same story again. And even more excited that he could actually help fill in the details. I was so happy that we had managed to actually get through him what the real meaning of Easter was about.
