Happy Easter

 Easter started at the YMCA this year when AJ and Tessa went to Easter story time and got to play with the YMCA bunny "Barnaby". They loved petting Barnaby, and had fun listening to the stories also.

 On Saturday after soccer we went to Smith Gilbert Gardens in Kennesaw for an Easter egg hunt. It was a lot of fun. The kids were all very excited, even Tessa- she knew exactly what to do.

 Showing off their eggs- Nathan found the golden egg. Inside each of the eggs were tickets that they could turn in for prizes. The golden egg had extra tickets.

 The Easter Bunny made an appearance. Unlike last year, all of the kids were happy to see him. There were no tears!

 They had a tile painting table.

 And a spray art table.

 Sunday morning the kids came downstairs and got their Easter baskets.

 Tessa was most excited about the chocolate...

 Nathan was most excited about Mario Party 10 (for the WiiU)...

 And AJ was most excited about his Team UmiZoomi coloring books.

 Since this Easter weekend was also General Conference, we went to visit Andrew between the Sunday sessions. We had a good visit there. We took bread to feed the ducks but we were not the first ones to feed them. They had already had plenty to eat so the Koi fish ate most of our bread.

 All in all we had a good Easter weekend. We tried to teach our Children about their Savior Jesus Christ and his Sacrifice and Resurrection. We tried to teach them that because He lives, goodbyes are not forever. We are an eternal family and we will be together with Andrew again someday.

"Oh sweet, the joy this sentence gives, I know that my redeemer lives!"
