I'm already a lover of all holidays, but I have to say that the holidays get even better when celebrating with your own child - I can only imagine what it will be like when Eleanor actually understands that holidays are special days! Since Elle has no concept of half the things going on around her I did hold back, but I wanted to do something for my princess on Easter so she got two new church books. She was showing off her new skill of sitting up for the photos (she doesn't last very long, but she's getting there!)
I think she likes them :)
Before heading to church, Sam stood Elle up to snap a photo of her on his phone and she just kept standing there...we were waiting for her to lose her balance or get tired but she stood firmly in place! So, of course I had to grab my camera for some shots. I thought she looked so cute for her first Easter Sunday!
Appropriately enough, it was a beautiful day here in Provo (hooray!). The three of us walked to church to enjoy the warm sunshine. We had nice church meetings and I was happy for time to reflect on Christ's resurrection and what that means to me personally.
After our meetings we had to get some Easter family photos:
We got to Skype with my parents for a few minutes before heading out the door (this is an especially big deal because they're out traveling and you can never predict what internet connection they'll have so I was so happy they got a hold of us). We drove up to G's house and had a nice time with G, Sallee, Sam's Aunt Julie, Uncle Brad and cousin Spike. As usual, good food and great company.
It was a relaxing, beautiful Easter day and I am very grateful I got to spend it with my little family. Our Sunday School teacher referenced the talk "None Were With Him" by Elder Holland a lot and my friend Dani posted the Mormon Messages video from it on her blog. I loved it so much I wanted to share as well:
