EASTER!!!

It was such a good day. Very relaxed. We went to church with my parents, which was so nice. I got to see so many people that I grew up with. I love my parent's ward. Then, we went to my parent's house and I made Lemon Pepper Halibut. YUM YUM! For dessert we took Death By Chocolate. Zach made the filling, and I put it together. It looked so good! I was so proud of myself. We talked, and laughed, and just enjoyed being in each other's company. Then it was time for the hunt! In our family, we don't hunt for eggs, but scriptures. My dad would give us the beginning scriptures and it would say something like, "the windows of heaven will be opened..." We run to the windows, everyone frantically searching for a sticky with the next scripture. Until we finally find the Easter packages. Then my dad talks about how Easter isn't about the goodies that we find at the end of the hunt, but about the "real" treasure, which is the Atonement and Eternal Life, and how that is what we need to be thinking about this Easter Season. Think about the trials that we have to go through, and how the scriptures help us find our way back to our Father so that we can reach Exaltation by His side. Easter is the perfect time for us to reflect on our relationship with Father, and how can be better in order to be able to return to Him. Yay for Easter!
