Easter 2016

I am not sure why we only took pictures of Ellie on Easter, but whatever.  We had a wonderful Easter weekend, visiting family, learning more about the life, death and resurrection of our Savior and preparing to leave for Hawaii a few days later.  On Easter morning, we were having a little family devotional, watching one of the LDS Bible videos on the Resurrection.  Ellie had found a little plastic tape measure that I had been using the day before and started swinging it around.  Before I could take it away from her, the plastic shell made contact with my eyebrow/eyelid area.  I grabbed my face, in pain and when I pulled my hand a way I saw lots of blood.  I ran into the bathroom to see the damage, leaving the rest of my family staring at me in shock.  Once Matt washed all the blood off we could see a decent sized gash that hurt a lot.  Matt pulled out his trusty liquid stitches and closed it up for me.  I had a nice black eye for a few days.  Thanks, Ellie.  Note to self:  always, always put away your tape measure.

We had a very nice rest of the day, going to church and visiting our families.  I am so grateful for the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
