The Weekly Photo + a video

I did not take any pictures last week! The weather was rather miserable and cold, we did not do much and the one day I wanted  my camera, I forgot it! So, I took a picture today, for my Weekly Photo, which does not really count. Oh, well. I did make some videos though, so I am putting one of those up!

Elanor picking flowers this morning.

Elanor loves being read to and loves looking at books on her own as well--as most everyone who reads this blog already knows. She has memorized several books, especially ones that are her favorites and we read often. I decided to finally get a video of her "reading" and it is so cute. She is "reading" Dream Animals by Emily Winfield Martin. It is a beautiful bedtime book and I highly recommend it.

Also, it was General Conference this past weekend! Every year, I find myself getting more excited for it. I love General Conference and learning about the Gospel and how to be a better person. If you missed it, need a recap, or have never heard of General Conference, check out the talks here.

Preparing for Easter

Elanor and I watched this little Mormon Message video yesterday in preparation for Easter at the end of this week. I am not sure if Elanor understood everything and I tried to explain what was happening. However, she did say, "Bad guys giving Jesus owies? I give Jesus kisses, make him feel better!".  For the rest of the day, Elanor kept talking about how Jesus "got owies" and that she needed to kiss him. It was very sweet and I think she understood some of it and was very excited when he came back and saw Mary ("Jesus all better!"). I tried to explain that he did this all for her and everyone, which can be a confusing concept for a two year old. She did understand that Jesus was hurt and needed help and she wanted to be there (as in kiss and hug) for him. Kisses (especially from two-year olds) make everything better and I am sure Jesus would agree.
