Easter Sunday we had a fabulous Sacrament Meeting. It made me a little teary....well maybe a lot. That happens sometimes. I have learned to be OK with that. I'm grateful for my understanding about life after death. What a blessing it is to know we will all live together as a complete family someday. That's such a comforting, nice thought.
The Easter Bunny came to our house. She filled the baskets to the brim with sweets, and left a few gifts. Mike got a DVD of Duck Dynasty. If you haven't watched that TV show, you are really missing out (according to Mike). Ben got a super soaker. Can't wait to start dodging water bullets. Kate and Lizzy were pleased with their new Easter clothes.
Mike LOVES to hide the Easter baskets. This year he went a little overboard with Ben. Ben's a good sport about it, probably because Mike is the mastermind behind it. Kate, gave up on looking for her basket and is just enjoying everyone else's.
We stopped by Steve's grave on the way to the grandparents. Kate and Mike had copied their mission calls to leave at his grave, along with some Easter Lilies. I had to take a picture of what will be left of our family when these two missionaries leave. In the four and a half years that Steve has been gone, our family has changed so much. Two are married, two going on missions, one grandchild, and only two kids and myself will be at home. Life marches on.
Grandma and Grandpa Brown hosted a lovely Easter dinner, and fabulous Easter Egg hunt. The grandkids are growing up, but they still love spending time together and with their Grandparents, and relatives.
