OK, so I have to confess, I enjoy color coordinating my family. So Easter was Purple, Black and White. It always starts with the girls dresses then I figure out how the boys will match. I just am so proud of our little crew. One good looking set of Might Moore Monkeys if I must say so.
I took the crew to the AZ Temple this Saturday to see the new Pictures of Christ. They were amazing! The Spirit was so strong.
It was a beautiful Easter Day, the sun is shining and all my windows are open with a breeze coming through. This is why I love AZ. This and the Fall. Summer not so much but we do have a Pool now so that might change things.
My friend emailed me this about Easter being so early. Thought it was interesting enough to share. So here you go:
As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.
Some things you might be interested in! Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).
2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

I must agree that is one fine looking bunch of Mighty Moore Monkeys!!! (o: Super cute!
Also, I have to say I loved the info on the timing of Easter. It is interesting to think about.
And.... I am very excited you were able to see the Reflections of Christ Exhibit. I am alway amazed by how touching a photo exhibit can be... (Did you see Todd? He is in the last pic... Had to ask).. (o; If you are interested you can check out the webpage to go with the site. It has the making of video (which I HIGHLY recommend) www.reflectionsofchrist.org
