You can't see it very well but these are pictures dipicting Christ's week leading up to His crucifiction and Resurrection. We normally read scriptures every day, starting with Palm Sunday through Easter, about that last week of Christ's life, what He was doing and what He did for us. We usually have some kind of activity that goes along with that reading of the day. Unfortunately this year we were not able to do that every day. I feel so sad about it! We have been so busy and had several things going on this week that we let get in the way of our plans. We did eventually get through all the days by doubling up on some but we didn't do many activities. We did end on a good note this morning though when we read the account in John about Christ's resurrection. Later the kids found plastic eggs that had parts of the Easter story in each one and we sat in a circle and took turns reading the story. It was nice to focus on Christ today and not just candy. I like our new tradition and the kids agree which is alwasy nice. I have learned this year though that truly important things just don't get done when we fill up our lives with stuff. Now, some of the things we had to do this week were not in our control but we didn't have a set plan in place to still accomplish what we needed to even with distrations. We need to manage our time better and find times (actually schedule and make the time because we will never just "find" it) of the day where there is not any where else we need to be and then plan our scripture time or learning time then.
We had a great day, we felt the Spirit (especially during conference), we enjoyed each other and focused on our Savior. So I guess we didn't mess up too bad, just something to think about next year :).
