Easter

Clara was super excited to wake up to the Easter Bunny having come.  She kept giggling the entire time she was searching for eggs.

Since this was Joseph's first Easter, we needed to get him an Easter Basket. The only one that we could find that we liked, didn't really match Clara's.  So we ended up buying two new Easter Baskets.  Jeremy loves Joe's and Clara loves hers!  :)

Clara was super excited to get a Lego Magician toy as well as her very own watering can.

Clara has been into magic shows lately.  She's been putting on show after show all week.  So I thought the Easter Bunny did a great job picking out things she would like.  Here is a picture I took this week of one of Clara's magic shows.

I'm so bummed I never got a picture of Clara's Easter dress.  She's been excited to wear it to church all week, and I failed to get a good Easter picture.  Oh well.  She was also super excited to go to church and discover that one of her best friends got the exact same Easter dress!
Clara got to give a talk in Primary on Easter too.  She was super excited last week to get the assignment. She prepared her talk all by herself!  She even had her own visual aids.  Here's how her talk went:

"Jesus prayed by a tree.  That prayer was called the Atonement.  The prayer so was special that it made Jesus bleed.

The bad soldiers (while practicing with me all week, she kept saying Lamanites, but said soldiers in her actual talk) took Jesus and put him on a cross.  They put nails in his hands and feet and a sword in his side.

The people who loved Jesus took his body.

And put it in a tomb.

Three days later, an Angel moved the stone.

Jesus came out and showed everyone the nail holes in his hands so they would know it was Jesus."
Sorry about those last two pictures.  Clara drew those back to back, and so you can see the other picture when I scanned them in.....  She did a wonderful job, especially since she wrote it all by herself!
