Easter Best

We had a fun and relaxing Easter Weekend this year.

we kicked it off with some classic egg dying on friday night. bowen did an excellent job getting all our eggs done! i seem to forget there are only three of us when it comes to this kind of stuff. but he happily did all 20!

on Saturday we had a perfect family day in Salt Lake. By late afternoon we drove to Lehi for the Pratt Family Easter Party!

bowen loved the easter egg hunt, but since his smart mom forgot an easter basket, he was gathering them up in a grocery bag.....classic!

We woke up on sunday to see that the Easter bunny had paid us all a little visit. Bowen's favorite was his new shades!

The weather couldn't have been more perfect for Easter Sunday.

The best part of the whole weekend was at the dinner table. i know i mentioned it was a relaxing weekend, but during all that relaxing i had failed to teach bowen what Easter was really all about. (or so i thought) While i was cooking up an Easter Feast i mentioned to james that we probably ought to tell bowen about Jesus being Resurrected. James agreed, but we both got busy and never took the time to sit him down for the lesson. When we sat down to eat the feast bowen wanted to say the prayer.

"Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this day,

Thank you for Easter,

Thank you for Jesus Christ and the tomb,

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

It was short, sweet, and perfect. and let james and i know that whether we sit him down to teach him the lessons of the gospel of just talk about it in his presence, he's taking in more than we know. I guess we'll continue our gospel discussions with bowen in the room.
