The True Meaning of Easter

When we got up on Sunday morning, we talked to Cooper about what Easter really is all about. We talked about the Resurrection through out the week trying to teach Cooper about Jesus. We just feel like he needs to know that Easter is not about the eggs, baskets, and candy. Well, we went to church on Sunday and when we got into Primary (ages 4-8) , they asked what the true meaning of Easter was. Cooper raised his hand and said, "First, it means that Jesus died and then he came back to life." I didn't even help him. I was so proud of him for remembering what we had been trying to teach him. He ended up saying the opening prayer and did a great job. He is such a good boy and I hope the Bryce and I can continue to teach him more about his Savior, Jesus Christ and that he will have a desire to learn about him.

After church, we took some pictures and then ate lunch over at the Smiths' home (Kyle's family). It was alot of fun and Kyle's family are great people. There was lots of good food and they held a big easter egg hunt after lunch. They always put money in their eggs, so Cooper ended up with about $3. He was so excited.

We ended up at Grandma and Grandpa Coopers house later that night. It was fun to see all the counsins there. I got to take Cooper down to the barn to feed the cows, while Bryce helped Jamie get the blades off her mower. Everyone seemed to be doing well. We are so blessed to be able to go to our grandparents to meet as a family to eat and visit with each other. We have the best family in the world.
