The house is quiet as everyone sleeps in on Easter Morning. MoTab is playing softly in the back ground. Easter rolls are baking. Easter baskets filled with summer shoes, t-shirts, Peeps and candy, milk chocolate for Noah, dark chocolate for Ike, are waiting on the hearth.
Heavy snowflakes are falling fast. The snow brings a festive Christmas feeling. I miss Hannah and Gabe terribly. When they were young Easter felt more like Christmas with the excitement of the baskets and egg hunts and the focus on Christ. Now the focus is more on family, the Honey Baked Ham, and the life of Christ.
The older I get the more Easter becomes about forgiveness and redemption. I'll still do more candy than necessary and force my teenagers to act like they enjoy looking for eggs - I'm a party girl - but my heart is filled with gratitude that I can be forgiven and I feel a need to forgive others.
Emily sent me this beautiful video.
We never need to walk alone.
Happy Easter.

This was one of my favorite talks from conference. It is so powerful, I love how Elder Holland speaks from his heart. Thank you for sharing!
