happy easter

we just wanted to take a minute and wish all of you a happy easter. We hope that you have had the opportunity to reflect upon the atonement and resurrection of the Savior this day. It has been a beautiful day here. We had the amazing opportunity to see our oldest son, Nate, advance in the priesthood to the office of a Priest. He had an amazing interview with the Bishop on Saturday. We were able to sit in with him and listen to him talk about the comparisons between the sacrament and the duties of the Priest in preparing and blessing the sacrament and the atonement. How each week nate is responsible for helping people, through the preparation of the sacrament, to renew their covenants at baptism and by doing so, participating in the atonement each week, being forgiven of their sins. It was pretty awesome. Anyway, Kris got to ordain him a Preist in YM's. How awesome to have a son advance in the priesthood. It is great as a mother to have so many priesthood holders in my home!! Anyway. I just thought I would share that with you because it was such an awesome day and a great way to celebrate Easter!!
Love to you all!!
