The Gift



A few days before Easter, I took the kids with me to the grocery store and of course they all wanted some little treat. Then Jake saw these little "globes" and just had to have one for the Easter Bunny. He went right home and wrote him a letter that said, "Dear Ester Buney, This wonderful peresent is for you. I hope you take it." Then he drew a bunny and said, "Thank you!" Then he crossed out the "e" in hope so that it said "I hop you take it". He thought the Easter Bunny would get a kick out of that (which he did of course;). It's nice when kids think of others before themselves.

I also love this picture because it shows how "shiny" Jakes hair is-Grandma Merrill is always commenting on how his hair just shines. And I love his green eyes!

Jake is such a tenderheart! I like his sense of humor. I was told in the temple I had shiny hair too. They wanted to know what shampoo I use. Since I just use any old kind, it must be in our genes!!

Then why didn't I get it?!!! My hair always looks dry! I love Jake's smile in this photo. He usually looks so somber in pictures!
