Easter 2016

Easter was SO early this year.
Blake taught London all about resurrection & why we really celebrate Easter.

London loves Holidays & i love holidays. 
Something we have in common.

So, there is ALWAYS SO much excitement in the Allen household leading up to a holiday.
London asked every day for 3 weeks straight about dying Easter Eggs.
Finally, a couple days before Easter, Blake helped her dye some eggs & she was absolutely thrilled.

We were with my family this year for Easter & we actually had our Easter party the day before Easter on Saturday.  It turned out to be the perfect day outside.  We ate, sat & chatted, & laughed when we saw my dad mowing the pasture.  No better time like the present, right?  haha.

London played with Mike + Lizzy's dog the entire day.  It was pretty dang cute.
The Easter egg hunt was not a disappointment.  It's so much fun for me to watch all the kids find Easter Eggs & the kids always have such a blast.  London was just concerned about getting the colors of eggs she wanted (pink + purple) & Penny pie was just happy to find any egg & put it in her basket like the big kids.  I love hanging out with my family.  I am extremely blessed to have the family I do.  We are loud & big & I wouldn't want it any other way. 

Easter morning was full of excitement as the girls ran down to search for their hidden Easter baskets.  I love the picture of London looking at the book amongst all her Easter goodies.  Describes my little London to a T. Book worm.  And, little penny just wanted her bubble tape. 

I love my little family & am SO grateful for a savior who saves me. 
I'll end with my thoughts about my Savior:
How can I possibly explain the love I have for my Savior.  It seems impossible to put the right words down to express the importance of my Savior & this gospel in my earthly existence.  My Savior is the most important part of my life. What a beautiful day to celebrate the fact that HE lives.  I rely on my Savior everyday.  There are many times when I am drowning & fell inadequate in many aspects of my life.  But, when I let my Savior take my anxieties, doubts, & fears in those breaking moments, I feel a light & hope that cannot be achieved any other way.  He is the only one that can do that for me because He is the only one that has already felt my sins, anxieties, fears, & sadness.  He knows me better than anyone.  He loves me fiercely.  My Savior frees me.  My Savior is my eternal salvation.  He lives.  Because of Him I get to experience this earthly life & all the beautiful moments attached to it.  Because of Him, I get the greatest gift that could ever be given to me, an eternal family.  My Savior means everything to me.  I know that my Redeemer lives.
