Family Fun Night

This morning I am very grateful for the blessings in my life. Last night, I took Hannah shopping to get black dress pants for a multi-school cello concert tonight. Rebekah called my cell and asked if she could trade me Family Home Evening assignments and give the lesson. I gratefully accepted as shopping went longer than expected. When we came home, Rebekah and Jonathan led us out to the backyard where they had a surprise Easter Egg hunt hidden. There were eighteen eggs hidden. Each person could collect three. Inside six of the eggs were messages about Christ's final week and Easter. The idea was to find them, open them , and put them in order, and read them aloud (in her words).
  1. The Last Supper
  2. Servant Betrays Jesus
  3. Jesus is Crucified
  4. Jesus is Buried
  5. Angel Scares Guards Away
  6. Jesus is Resurrected
Then we read The Easter Story, Hannah shared a verse from The Book of Mormon where the people in America go and feel Christ's wounds and we sang, "He is Risen" in closing. Orange Creamcicles made the night especially sweet as we spoke of why we celebrate Easter.
