Olivia is ALWAYS wanting to wear my 'clock', so thank
goodness the Easter Bunny brought her one of her very own to wear!
Loving the surprises she finds in her basket.
See that excitement on her face?
A new Easter egg necklace to wear for the day.
Hopefully it won't get lost TOO soon.
Enjoying her second Easter Egg hunt for the day at
Papa and Grandma's with most of her cousins.
Looking over the spoils of her strenuous hunt.
She got hooked up!
We had a fabulous Easter. We got to spend part of the weekend with most of my family. There were some missing, and they were definitely missed. I'm so grateful to have a family that enjoys spending time together. I'm grateful that we were raised in a home where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is taught by word and example. I'm grateful for the Eternal Family unit. As I look at my own children, I'm filled with the love of Christ. They are such amazing examples to me of 'unconditional love' for everyone. Olivia is such a sweetheart and will love everyone. She often reminds me to be more accepting of those around me. And Tagen, so recently come from the arms of our Heavenly Father, fills me with peace and love just by holding her. I'm grateful for Christ's Atonement that allows us to be forgiven, to do better, and to be reunited with our loved ones when this life is over. I'm grateful for a holiday that celebrates Christ and the love he has shown to all of us. The power of the Atonement, resurrection and Love of God is manifest daily in my life. I just need to remember to thank Him for it as often as He shows me.

You are good with words. I like that you will talk about the impact the church has on your daily life, becuase I feel like I live my life that way too. It is my motivation to get up in the morning and deal with the hectic moments of having two girls... two wonerful girls.
Olivia's hair is getting so freaking long.
Amen sistah Amen!!
Loved the post. I know we sometimes get so caught up in the Easter Bunny, presents, egg hunts and such that we forget about the real meaning of Easter. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, they were great!
