Happy Easter 2010


"Oh sweet the joy this sentence gives: I know that my Redeemer lives!"

We celebrated Easter at my parent's home- it was really a nice day. We colored Easter Eggs, visited and ate a delicious dinner. For dinner we had ham, mashed potatoes, asparagus, Asian Salad, ambrosia, deviled eggs, croissant rolls, and an English Trifle for dessert. Everyone had a question under their dinner plate, my question was "What is your favorite Bible Story?" I have many favorites, but I chose the story of Christ's birth. Scott was asked his favorite scripture, he quoted Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest". Falyn was asked what she likes most about being LDS, and she answered, she likes being able to answer these 3 simple questions with confidence: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Falyn said the majority of her friends don't know the answer to these questions. Farah was asked her favorite primary song, she said, "Give Said The Little Stream". Poppy was asked about how he felt the first time he read "The Book of Mormon" he gave a sweet testimony, and had everyone tearing up. Grandma was asked to share her first experience with the Holy Ghost, she related a sweet story about her childhood, and how she would tremble bearing her testimony as a young child, she had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ. It was an uplifting day-

Harry always colors eggs even if there are no kids around - he's a kid at heart I guess.

Looks like a great day!
