Easter...3 weeks late

The train of life has not slowed down one bit over here so I'm very behind but trying to catch up on blog posts!

Easter is one of the holiday's we do at Rick's family's house every year and this year it came early for us since J&L's baby girl was due right around Easter...every year after the kids have their traditional Easter egg hunt, we get to have an adult Easter egg hunt -- however, since Meg just had a baby and Lindsey was about to have a baby...conditions weren't really great to have them running around (let's just say it gets really competitive out there).

SO my mother in law came up with more low key alternatives this year...a wheel of fortune type game and PLINKO (she's the cutest) Rick and I won. I promise our Easter gathering isn't all about the money.

This was the first year since we've been together that we were at our own house on actual Easter. It was really nice because without all the hustle and bustle and competing we really got to focus solely on what Easter is really about.

"To all who accept Him as Savior and Lord, His literal resurrection means that life does not end at death, for He promised: “Because I live, ye shall live also.” (John 14:19.)" -Ezra Taft Benson

I am beyond grateful for the knowledge that, through Christ, families can be together forever.
