Easter in the Time of Covid

Another year, another Easter spent in our home, joining our church congregation only virtually. While this has been difficult, we have been able to keep up with some traditions and also learn about Christ's sacrifice as a family.

We headed to the temple the Friday before Easter, and to our surprise and pleasure, the gates to the grounds were actually open!

We wandered the small grounds and discussed our Savior as a family.

It was a little glimpse of things being normal, and I loved it.

Easter morning itself meant books 

and chocolate,

Followed by an Easter egg hunt. It was just warm enough to do it outside, 

And everyone had the chance to be successful.

And silly. Always silly.

In spite of the fact we had no where to go, we decided to still get all dressed up.

Because who doesn't like seeing my boys in nice shirts

And Calista in a pretty dress?

With cheesy smiles, of course.

...of course.

I'm grateful that in spite of the challenges of the last year, I can still see my blessings, so many of which come through and by my Savior. 

John 8:11-12 "And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
Because of my Savior, I can live in light, not sin. 

Happy Easter.
