Our Sunday Easter

Hunting for eggs at our home today was hilarious! Sean had hidden the eggs the night before and had them hidden all over the place--in the couch, on the bean bag, in the plants, in the kids' boots--you name it, there was an egg in it! Abby knew what to do and wasted no time in hunting for the eggs. When it came time to open the eggs, she got really mad and wanted to know why there wasn't any candy in them. We had made the decision to not do candy, but to do stickers instead and that wasn't good enough for her. But once we got going with putting stickers on things, she totally forgot that she didn't have any candy in her basket. However, I now have stickers all over my house!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and was able to reflect on the reason behind it all. It's not about the Easter bunny and the candy but about how our Elder brother, Jesus Christ, gave his life for each and every one of us as payment up front for our sins. How grateful we are for His sacrifice and we hope that we can, in some small way, begin to pay back the debt we owe Him.
