Happy Easter!

Easter is one my favorite days of the year. It is also a day I get especially homesick for my family of origin, sunny St. George, and Wendy's egg hunt! However, we still had a wonderful day here in San Antonio! I received this quote in church today that I really liked:
"When all is said and done, when all of history is examined, when the deepest depths of the human mind have been explored, nothing is so wonderful, so majestic, so tremendous as this act of grace when the Son of the Almighty, the Prince of His Father's royal household, He who had once spoken as Jehovah, He who had condescended to come to earth as a babe born in Bethlehem, gave His life in ignominy and pain so that all of the sons and daughters of God of all generations of time, every one of whom must die, might walk again and live eternally. He did for us what none of us could do for ourselves."
- Gordon B. Hinckley

That is a great quote! I miss St. George at Easter, too. It often corresponds with the brief window of springtime there. By the way, Eliza's dress is super cute1
