The one day you let your kids go wild!

Easter ! so much fun! Kids get to eat candy before breakfast and then get to have the day off of school. They also get to get all messy and colorful while dying eggs and nobody will get mad at them! Truly what a holiday made for kids! Really all of us adults know that Easter is really about rejoicing the Saviors resurrection. some people think that we celebrate his death, but it is his resurrection that saved us all. If Jesus Christ did not go through all that he did for us, there really would be no life after death. I am so thankful and grateful for the Love the Savior has for us. That is why we celebrate and have fun at Easter, to show the Savior that we are thankful and we recognize his sacrifices. Today we had so much fun with Liam. It was his second Easter, and of corse this time he actually somewhat knew what was going on , so it made it much more interesting. We slept in , and got up gave Liam a basket so he could collect all the candy . We let him loose and he kept saying "ooooooh!" It was so cute. We couldnt fit the chocolate bunnies in the basket but he kept trying. He would pick up a plastic egg almost make it to the basket and see another one, drop the one in his hand and it would keep going on back and forth. Then we had a yummy breakfast and did the dishes. Ryan and Liam played while I ran to the store to go get eggs so that we could color them. I got back from the store and by that time Liam was ready for a nap. We all ended up having a nap, because who can call us lazy when its just us? After we got up we colored the eggs. Liam was so excited. I love the designs and bright hues that we got, thanks to Liam dunking them all a billion times. Then we gave him a bath so he wasnt so colorful and now we are getting ready to have supper. I am excited to do all these things with Liam but i cant wait until he will understand a little more what the true meaning is of this day. I hope that you all had a wonderful day with your families also. Hopefully you remembered the Savior and felt his love.

Lots of chocolate and colorful things!
