Easter Weekend

We had a fun Saturday which started out with Andrew and Jordan going to see Star Wars 3D while Megan and I went shopping.  It was the first time Jordan had ever made it through a movie at the theater since the only other time I had tried taking him it was a bit overwhelming for him and we left after 5 minutes.  We figured with it being Star Wars, which he is completely obsessed with right now, it would be safe and the boys had a great time.  After dropping them off, Megan and I ventured to the mall.  Megan was cracking me up the whole time as she would excitedly exclaim, "Look at THAT...I'm going to get that when I'm a big girl!!!!"  over...and....over...and...over again.   We then came home to decorate eggs and have an easter egg hunt. 

Waiting patiently in their hiding places while the "Easter Bunny" hid their eggs.

Posing was not in Jordan's agenda.  As you can see, he took this very seriously and always had a sharp eye to see where Megan was.  The funny thing is that she could care less, taking her time and even stopped to eat some candy along the way!

It was the kid's idea to wear their Marianne t-shirts that day.  We had been talking a lot about what Easter is all about and I think it connected in their minds a little more, having experienced death which was a foreign concept to them in the past.  They knew that because of Easter, they could be with Marianne again and wanted to remember her on that day.

Megan set this whole thing up herself.  She likes to be very organized with her things and likes things just right.

This depicts what Easter means to me now, knowing that because of the life, death and resurrection of my Savior, the picture above not only depicts a moment of the past...but also a moment in the future when we will be all together again, never to be separated!!!
