Here's a few pics of our Easter- I just haven't had the time to sit down and do some proper scrapping! Oh, the girls had the cutest white sweaters to go over their dresses, but Piper got to draw with markers in her primary class so her sweater looked like a rainbow, and Porter used Adi's as a napkin during sacrament.
Our Easter, although freezing cold, was good. I did try to explain about the Resurrection to the girls, and that just didn't go well.
Me: Jesus died, and after three days He was resurrected and was alive again.
Adi: Why?
Me: So that we can all live again.
Piper: We have to die first?
Me: Yup.
**Long Silence, and then Piper's eyes fill with tears**
Piper: I don't want to die!
Me: It's ok, sweetheart, we all are going to die someday. (So the wrong thing to say)
**Piper is now gasping for breathe through her crying**
Me: But we get to live in Heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus, and my grandpa and Nanny.
**Now Adi is crying**
Adi: I don't want to leave Snowball (her stuffed bear that OP's mom made her) !
Oh my, I think I really messed that up. Unfortunately, OP was in bed sick and he is usually the one who tells gospel stories (can you tell why?).
After the girls went to church and had a "professional" teach them about the Resurrection they felt much better. Note to self: avoid telling a 5 and 3 year old that they and eveyone they know are going to die someday...

They all look so stinkin adorably cute! That would be hard trying to tell about Resurrection. I'll give you props for trying!
That is such a great story! I am seriously laughing out loud! I made an attempt to talk to Julia about it, but I didn't get much interest. She learned to say the word resurrection, and that was pretty much the gist. Your girls look absolutely adorable as usual, and Porter is such a little handsome guy! Even in his pictures, you can just tell he is so sweet!
Their dresses are so pretty. I will keep that in mind not to teach little one a resurrection. Your kids are so pure!
