Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!! I LOVE spring- the warm weather, the green grass and the beautiful flowers (especially tulips). I just love seeing the newness of life all around! I was talking all week to Megan and hearing all of her wonderful ideas on having a more Christ- centered Easter. We had been reading our Easter books all week and trying to teach the real meaning to our children. We decided to do the Jerusalem dinner (from Megan's fun ideas) on Saturday night. There was such a special spirit in our home! We had church hymns playing while we ate dinner, (pita bread, grapes, soup and grape juice) in our family room, on a blanket. We had all the gospel art kit pictures of the final week of his life and retold the story to our boys. There was an amazing spirit there that had been lacking in years previous! It was so memorable!! I could see the boys really beginning to understand why the Savior did what he did for us. William said, "I am so happy Jesus died on the cross so I don't have to." Later Easter morning, Quincy said, "I wish I could touch the nail prints in his hands." It was so neat to tell him that he could one day meet the Savior and touch his hands. He was SO excited!
We had a beautiful dinner at my mom and dad's home that afternoon and enjoyed being with my side of the family. 
It's so fun to have a girl!! The kids looked SO cute! There is something so fun about dressing them all the same! Hope you all had a very special day!
