my favorite easter things








i love that i actually allow my kids this one day to eat all the candy they want without micromanaging it. it's actually kind of fun, and they think they have gone to heaven. but that's not my favorite thing.

i love that we still carry on the easter outfit tradition. and i have to admit that my boys looked so cute this year that i wanted to eat them up every time i laid eyes on them. but surprisingly that's not my favorite thing.

i love this family gathering, all the excitement of being together to have the egg hunt. i love actually dying real eggs, just like i used to do with the clear crayons and multi-colored eggs. i love the memories of all the many egg hunts at ganny's house and aunt linda's easter baskets. i love my children and their cousins having the same the opportunity to have that tradition. but that's not my favorite thing either.

my very favorite thing is knowing that through Jesus Christ this life is not the end. we will take all of our wonderful experiences and loving families with us forever. His resurrection is a miracle to me, one that gives me one of the greatest reasons to celebrate every day. i love life and all that is in it, and my favorite thing is knowing that i will have life forever.

The boys were absolutely adorable in their outfits! I wish Stockton wouldnt have ruined his so he could have been as cute as the rest of the kids. :(
