What it's all about

This picture Carter did at school before they let out for the Easter Holiday. Carter did our Family Home Evening lesson last week and it was so great. He told us all about The Last Supper, the crucifixion, and of course the resurrection of Christ. His picture is all about that last week of the Saviors life. I love that these same principles are taught at his school. We do our best at home, but having it reinforced is something we love! We had a fabulous time with the General Conference of our church last weekend and this weekend was a great time to talk about our Savior and all that he has done for us. The kids were great and even last night when we watched our church's production called "The Lamb of God" the kids sat and just took it in. We had a little family testimony meeting and we all shared with each other how much Jesus Christ means to us. As Carter said, "I know that Jesus is alive now, because he was resurrected, he is going to come again to earth." Mason clapped his hands as Mike was talking about Christ. Mason LOVES this movie and the way he watches it is something so amazing. He is normally bouncing during ANY movie, but during this one there is just something about his dimeanor. This is what it is all about.
We had so much fun with our kids this weekend. It was fun to take some bubbles outside and hear them laugh together, play together, and chase each other with bubbles. We hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter Season!!
*** if you click on the title of the movie it will take you to a page where you can order a free copy. It really is a great production of that last week in the life of Jesus Christ. Obviously we watch it with our children, so it is done in good taste.***
