For some reason, this Easter has felt different to me. Now that I have a child I think more about what traditions I want to start and how I want to celebrate different holidays. Do I want Adelyn to focus on getting gifts from the Easter bunny or on Christ?
That being said, we did do a small Easter basket but I was overall more focused on Christ. Church was amazing today! The talks in Sacrament meeting were so perfect and I felt the Spirit so strongly! One lady shared such a raw, personal experience in how the atonement was in effect in her life. It was perfect. Then the choir sang my favorite song, "I Know that My Redeemer Lives." It was followed up by a talk that spoke about what we need to do to accept the atonement. I literally felt like my heart was going to burst because I felt the spirit so strong!
In Sunday school today, I taught about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It wasn't my best lesson, but I learned more in preparation for this lesson than I feel like I have known before. I studied each part of the Atonement and what it means to me. I learned about the terms that we have to live by to accept His sacrifice. I learned that every good thing in my life is thanks to our Savior. I learned that Christ walked alone so that we never have to. It has been the spiritual kick start that I have been needing.
After church we did take some family pictures. Adelyn and I both got new dresses and we had my mom here to take a picture of all three of us! It has really been the perfect day!
These are repeat pictures from facebook.
Me and my sweet baby.
More fun with Easter eggs. She figured out there are yummy treats inside!
It is impossible to get everyone to look at the camera. At least this one none of us are looking so it looks planned.
My two favorite people!

Sooo cute! I love the pictures! Sacrament was really good! Our family tradition is that the Easter Bunny comes on Saturday and Sunday is focused on Christ. Its nice to celebrate both ways.
