We had soccer games on Easter Saturday, which means we missed the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. And I had to speak on Easter Sunday, which means we absolutely HAD to be on-time for 9:00AM church on Easter morning. Needless to say Easter was super duper low-key this year.

We did invite some of our cousins over for a fun little egg hunt Saturday afternoon. And then Sunday after church we drove up to Hooper for dinner. My mom put on an egg hunt for the grandkids there also.

My kids didn't get new Easter clothes or anything. I swear every time I look at my boys their church pants are 3 inches too short, no matter how recently we've bought them new ones. They all need shoes too. And the girls needed new dressed back in March, so technically those were their "Easter" dresses, they've just been wearing them for awhile already.

But none of that is very important.

What's actually important is that we did take time to teach our kids about Jesus Christ. We talked about how because of Jesus our family has the potential to be eternal. We talked about how everyone will be resurrected from the dead, and how if we keep the commandments and the covenants that the Lord has asked us to make and to keep that we will have eternal life, which gift is the greatest gift.

And for that, I am eternally grateful.
