Easter

I really have a hard time with Easter probably more than I should. I HATE buying the kids a tons of candy because for the next week or two I feel that all I am doing is saying stop eating the candy or get off the counter we are eating dinner soon no more candy. I love reflecting on Christ and what he did for the world and that he is my Savior. So how does that translate to buying candy for the kids. I was at the store staring at all the "Easter Stuff" not wanting to buy Sweets. I put a kite for each of the kids bubbles and a little basket in the shopping cart and tried to walk away. I did stop myself because I knew that if I didn't buy the kids some sweets there dad would and it would 4 times as much as I would buy them. Before I told Jared that I bought things for the kids I talked with him about my urge not to "buy" things for Easter. He said I don't care if you buy things as long as you get them some candy if you don't, I will. (exactly what I feared) I told him against my judgment I did buy some. Needless to say we had a great Easter focused on Christ during Church which was amazing. I feel so blessed in my live for my Savior all that he endured in Gethsemane for me. Then enjoyed the rest of the evening at Jared moms house with the family. Here are the Pictures from the day ENJOY!!
