Easter Goodies

A little late, I am well aware... but had to post some cute pics. Hope you all had a great Easter.



Most of the pictures are from our ward's Easter Extravaganza... Hudson wasn't too sure about lugging around the basket until he saw why it was important to have it with him... he loaded up on all the eggs he could find.

Hudson & his friend BrockBefore Church Hudson followed some random eggs to his basket - which he completely bypassed. He was too into finding the eggs. But... then the Nerf gun caught his attention... and ever since Sunday all we have heard is a small plea by Mr. H asking us to "fix gun" he says a another word, but we will pass that one. :)

After church on Sunday we had a great lunch/brunch with the Brown and Fenk family... thank you guys! They had a egg hunt as well.
Easter has always been a favorite. And until I was a little older did it really have significance for me in that it is the Day we celebrate the Savior's resurrection and the gift of the atonement.

How blessed and lucky I feel to have that knowledge in my life.

Lately I have often thought about the atonement and how sometimes it is hard for me to really think about it or be truly grateful for it at that moment (although I am, for some reason I feel fogged up at times). But my thoughts quickly turn to the gift of the Atonement not so much for me, but for Hudson and this new little one coming. It seems to hit closer to home when thinking of the safety I feel for Hudson and our new girl. Not that I am not grateful for the sacrifice the Lord has made for me, but to think that He has made this sacrifice so that Hudson and this new child may live again makes me feel completely unworthy of all that I have been blessed with. I know this may not make sense, but for me having not only the knowledge of how the atonement has blessed my life but how it will eternally bless my children's lives has given me a greater depth of love and devotion to the Savior.


Happy -Late- Easter.
