We had let Luke and Harlee have a camp out in our room last night and by 6:15am we could hear them talking. "It is going to be awesome!" said Luke. He was telling Harlee that he thinks he saw the Easter Bunny, to which Harlee replied "In real life?" This seems to be her response to everything lately- so cute! Well I ran down to get the camera and then Joey brought them down to the front room where Santa leaves the presents and the Easter Bunny followed suit last year. You could imagine their disappointment when the room was empty. We asked the kids "Do you think you woke up to early and he had to leave??" They were so sad. (How mean is that Easter Bunny??) We suggested that maybe he left the baskets somewhere else and after a few rooms checked, they found their baskets in the kitchen. They were so excited and it was happiness again in the Childs home!
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to celebrate Easter and to reflect on the special gift given by our Savior. Because of His sacrifice we can live with Him again. I feel so lucky to have that opportunity and to be able to live as a family FOREVER. What drive that gives me to be better and to teach our children the gospel so that we can enjoy that blessing. I am so thankful for the gospel and for all of the many blessings that we enjoy as a family.
* Love the pics- the first set is the before and after. The second is the reaction to no baskets in the front room- so mean! And the next set is a few shots of them enjoying their treats. Love these kids!
