An Easter Blessing

We had a great day today for Easter. This whole past week, Shane's mom has been here with us helping out, and yesterday afternoon, my parents drove up to visit also. We had a fun Easter egg hunt in the backyard, and Landon enjoyed coloring the Easter eggs last night. This morning, he jumped out of bed, excited to go see if the Easter bunny had hid his eggs, and he liked the new helicopter he got in his Easter basket.

This morning, Shane blessed Davis in church. It was a really nice blessing, blessing Davis with, among other things, a "sound mind and a soft heart," a "sense of service for his fellowman," and "a special relationship with his siblings." Fortunately, Davis was good for the blessing, and he pretty much slept right through it.

After church, we had a great Easter dinner with ham, funeral potatoes, deviled eggs, rolls, rainbow Jello, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was delicious, and nice to have so many moms and dads and husbands around to help put such a great dinner together! Before dinner, Landon was coloring a picture of Jesus he had got in nursery. My dad asked him who it was in the picture, and he said, "Jesus." He then asked him what he learned about Jesus in nursery, and he said something about a garden, then said, "He died and went to live with Heavenly Father." Then dad asked him what happened next, and he said, "He came back!" I guess he does listen in nursery and when we have family home evening!
