Easter

Yesterday i had my birthday party a month early and it was awesome! Me and my friends made poster for the game (even though we accidentally forgot the posters at my house) ate pizza, cookies, cake and ice cream, and went to an Avs game! The Avs played awesome yesterday but did have some bad luck at the end of the game. The game went to overtime scoreless. Forty seconds into the five minute overtime period, Henrik Sedin (Henrik and his twin brother Daniel are my favorite players on the Canucks) shot the puck, it bounced off of Budaj's pads and hit Hannan's skate and bounced into the net. The Avs had some very bad luck and lost that game. Budaj (my all-time favorite player) was still the number one star of the game and has now started for four games in a row now. In those four games, he has a goals against average of 0.96 (for those of you guys who don't know a lot about hockey, that is very, very good).

As Easter Sunday started, i woke up happy about how the game went yesterday and looked outside to see snow everywhere. It snowed while we were sleeping and there is now a very heavy, wet snow everywhere around us. Since it is Easter, me and my mom were going to wear dresses and even though it is 30 degrees outside, we still had our dresses on and we all went to church. Easter was going as it always does.

Tonight is when things start to get different. Instead of cooking a huge Easter meal, me and my family are going to yet, another Avs game. This game is the last game of the season for the Avs and it is also Fan Appreciation day. The Avs and Pepsi Center staff are giving prizes away all game and the players are doing "jerseys off our backs". Every player on the Avs is going to sign their game worn jersey and they will be given away throughout the game. I would seriously die if i got a jersey!

As Easter continues, we all see the real reason why we are all here today. As two-thousand years ago, Jesus died on the cross to save our sins and then rose again. Today is a very special day and we are all thankful that we were saved from all of our sins.
