Easter

We had a great Easter day. Celebrations started on Saturday with an egg hunt put on by the medical school. The kids got some fun prizes and it was a beautiful day to be outside!





















Sunday morning we had a visit from the Easter bunny. The kids each got a ball and lots of candy.
















We then had some ebleskivers for breakfast. Bryan's mom taught me how to make them and it has become a tradition to make them on general conference weekend. So yummy.



















We could not celebrate Easter without continuing our tradition of throwing our eggs down a hill. We found a hill close to our house that was perfect for egg throwing.











Even Bennett gave it a try!













The girls had a blast and were a little sad when all their eggs were gone and broken.




Some of us took naps while listening to conference. Oops! I really tried to stay awake. Something about the general authorities voices make me sleepy- they are soothing!




Bennett played peek-a-boo with us before he went to sleep. He can pull himself up to things now.








The most important thing we did yesterday was celebrate and think about the resurrection of our Savior. I thought it was wonderful to be able to listen to conference on Easter. It really helped us focus on what is important on Easter. I'm grateful for my Savior and all that he did for me.

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter too!

glad to see the weather treating you right! I can remember a few Easter's ago at the Med school egg hunt that there was snow on the ground and we were FREEZING! Never can tell what it will throw your way!

Love the ebleskivers - I want to learn how to make them. Maybe we can do a trade... design work for cooking lesson.
