Easter 2009


Easter Sunday was a beautiful day filled with wonderful moments leaving me with great memories of the day. Ethan was able to come home late Saturday night and attend church with us Sunday morning. The Easter Bunny even made it to our house leaving baskets filled with yummy treats and chocolates (and new toothbrushes as he does every Easter!) and then we were off to church. The service at church was so nice and then we were off to grandparents' homes for lunch. Joey, his children, and I went to his parents' house for lunch while Ethan and Addison went to my parents' since Ethan was only home until early afternoon. He had to be back in Florence at work by 4:00 but it was very nice that we were all able to enjoy a great Easter dinner with loved ones. The latter part of the day was spent at my parents' house where we visited with my parents, my sister and my brother and their families. Daddy had not been feeling well and I believe he had a great time watching all the kids play (the young ones and us old ones! Ha!) We rode bikes, had an egg hunt, cruised on the golf cart and then Joey and I enjoyed an evening cruise on Daddy's scooters. That was so fun! The late afternoon cool breeze felt so welcome as we were riding. What a wonderful day. I love the Easter season and recounting the reason for this special day. I am so thankful for Jesus Christ and for the price He has paid for my sins and yours. I am so very grateful for the atonement and the part it plays in my life. My heart aches when I think of the pain He endured and it was for me and each one of us... I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It is my prayer that I may live the life He would have me live and make the choices that will someday lead me back to my heavenly home to live with Him again. I hope everyone had a beaufiful Easter.
