Easter means so much more then candy..(but candy is still good :)

This year for Easter, as a family we decided to forgo the  Easter baskets and do something for someone else..Since the celebration of the Resurrection of the Savior is Easter..we want to share that love with someone else, now if my children were little we'd probably do both, but they aren't and think it is a great idea (as long as they still get their See's candy marshmallow egg) so we will be making up some fun little baskets to give away to others who might need some happiness..I thought these cute little birds would be a great addition so check out Martha and see all her good ideas.. 

Pull apart cinnamon Bread..

To my Children...

If God had a refrigerator,
your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet,
your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring
and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk,
He'll listen.
He can live anywhere in the universe,
and He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem;
not to mention that Friday at Calvary.
Face it, friend.
He's crazy about you.
-Max Lucado
