Easter

I'm a little late on the Easter post. Things have been a little crazy these last few weeks, so I'm finally getting the time to sit down and share our Easter activities.

Andy and his family came for the weekend. It was a little misty and rainy all weekend, but Janelle brought some Easter crafts, and we did manage to get the kids out for an egg hunt, so all in all it was a success!

There were a few naps taken

And I got some snuggle time with my cutie!

Eggs were colored

We ventured out in the rain in search of eggs

We made it out to our favorite eats

And we had Easter dinner with the missionaries, because we love our missionaries!

One of my favorite videos this year was of two young children telling the Easter story. Out of the mouth of babes. I love it! It's pure, it's simple, and I'm thankful for the gift of the atonement in my life. What a blessing to know we will all live again. Death is not the end. We will see, hug and visit with all of our family members who have passed on. I love this knowledge. I love this gift. I love this message! #Becausehelivessoshallwe

He's coming home!!

We received his flight itinerary yesterday!! Our missionary comes home in less than 100 days!!! We are so excited!!!! Let the countdown begin...

He is seated next to another missionary flying home who is from Macon GA. They both served in the same mission. How fun is that?! His mom contacted me, so we will be there together waiting on our Canadian missionaries to come off the same flight. What an amazing, fun, exciting, life changing, uplifting, good, wonderful, and purely intense two years this has been for all of us!!! I'm so ready for a hug!!!!
