Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. Kristin braced the lightening and hail storms and made the long drive(or what seems like a long drive) from Dallas. We were so happy to have her here with us. It is nice to spend holidays with family. Plus, I know Abigail really loved having someone else around besides her boring parents.

Abby and her dad deciding which color to use.

Putting the finishing touches(stickers) on Abby's pink egg.

We thought that Abigail would make a lovely egg so we added stickers to her. I am not so sure she was a fan of the idea. She would try and take the stickers off, only to have them get stuck on her fingers.

The Easter Bunny came bearing gifts and eggs filled with goldfish for Abby and candy for Jon.

Besides all the fun traditions of coloring eggs, egg hunts, candy and the Easter bunny, I truly love Easter. It is a time we can remember the great miracle of the Resurrection of our Savior and because of this gift, we too can live again.
This Easter, just happens to be two days before the death anniversary of the passing of my Mom and I have been thinking about her a lot and I have been missing her so badly. I wish she could be here, but I am so glad that I can say with out any doubt or hesitation, I know I will see her again!
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
