I LOVE EASTER!!

Easter is a magical time of year.....for 3 reasons usually, but, this year there were 4!!!!

1. It's the time of year to remember our Savior and His sacrifice for us. For each of us that act has a specific but different meaning, and I love to have a reason to reflect on that, but we shouldn't need a 'reason', it should always remember Him and His Atonement.

2. The Easter Bunny comes!!! I love these smiles!

We were in Enterprise, UT this year at my Gramma and Gramoa Honey's house, and Brandon was super concerned that the Easter Bunny wouldn't know where to find us, haha, he is so cute! So Saturday night we put their Easter baskets out on Gramma Honey's hearth so the Easter Bunny could fill them.....and he DID!!

Fun at the picnic!

3. The annual Truman family Easter picnic!!!

Every year our family (cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and sometimes, family friends) gathers in Bunkerville, NV for a picnic. This has been a tradition since my family moved to Vegas when I was 12. However I missed 10 years worth of picnics while I was on my mission and living in Louisiana. I missed these fun times! There is ALWAYS and egg hunt with all the little kids and the big kids hide them while the adults 'relax'. Plus, there is TONS of food and this year there was a 'volleyball tournament' for the 'almost adults' ;-) At any rate it was a lot of fun to be with Family!

4. Last but NOT least this Easter was also General Conference!! I already LOVE conference, and to have it on Easter Sunday made it that much more special AND to be at the Honey's, words cannot express how special that was. Growing up we ALWAYS spent conference weekend in Enterprise with the family. Being there for Conference brought back SO many memories.

Conference was SO amazing, I loved it all. I felt that most of the talks were directed to parents and youth and their leaders, I felt so uplifted and inspired to be a better parent and leader to the YW in our ward!

In short Easter weekend was SO awesome and I wish there were more weekends during the year like Easter weekend!
