This Egg's Empty!

He Lives!
"Candy Hunt" at Springville High--kind of a joke to see all the parents frantically grabbing candy faster than their kids were--I mean really, why do you want so much candy in your house anyways?
Dying our eggs Saturday night--the sound of "crack" happening every 5 seconds!
(notice Callie's bright red hand--her hand was more in the dye than out of it)

Our Easter Egg Hunt was inside this year because Brandon flooded the backyard. He forgot to turn the sprinklers off during the rain storm.
As the girls were looking for the eggs (both hard-boiled and plastic), Taylor found one that was empty. She opened it and simply said, "This one is empty dad" with a very concerned look on her face. What a teaching moment. I replied, "How grateful we are that it was Taylor." We took the next several minutes to talk about to her & Callie about the true meaning of this Holiday. Taylor is so sensitive when it comes to learning about her Savior. She really gets empathetic towards His pain and seems to desire for Him to be ok every time. It is with great joy that we continually teach her that He is healed and overcame the effects of death through His beautiful resurrection. What joy! What great News! He lives!

Taylor & Callie modeling their new Easter dresses that their Nana made...so cute!
