Bittersweet

Well I was excited to celebrate Easter with my kids but

VERY sad that we couldn't spend it with my Husband.

I bought their "basket stuffers" and I put their baskets together all by myself

and it felt so empty without him here with me.

It was so fun watching them run all over the house to find their baskets but

I still kept thinking, "I wish Daddy was here"

EVEN though, they had so much fun and they thought it was so cool

After Breakfast we sat down and watched a few Easter movies about

Jesus Christ and the TRUE meaning of Easter

I couldn't help but choke up

especially answering all my boys questions about the atonement and the Resurrection

Some of our good friends Tanya and Curtis,

invited us over for an Easter Egg Hunt and some yummy food and it was so fun. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Curtis went and bought all the kids loads and loads of toys

in addition to the eggs that we all brought

They went and hid all the toys and eggs

my kids thought it was Christmas

It was so good to sit and visit with friends while the kids played and played and PLAYED,

I sure miss Brandon but

atleast I have these amazing friends to help me not miss him SO MUCH.

Hewitt and Linford found their baskets

Harper found his...
