Easter

Origami Easter Basket

Yesterday we had a wonderful Easter. We started off watching General Conference. It was so nice to hear the apostles and Prophet speak on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter, as well as other great gospel topics. I feel inspired to be a better mom.

Afterward, we had Will's sister's family over for a turkey dinner. I always pick up an extra turkey or two at Thanksgiving time because they are so cheap and they are great for a nice dinner get together. Then the kids took turns hiding empty plastic eggs(I only have 1 dozen, so it seemed silly to fill them when the fun is in the hiding and finding). The boys took turn hiding for the girls, and vice versa. They had a blast! It reminded me of when I was a kid and we did that, only we used real eggs. After the hunt we had a lovely spice "mountain" cake that was super delicious and then the kids each got a little origami Easter basket with candy. I even showed the kids how to use robin eggs as lipstick, passing on a family tradition from my side of the family. It was a great Easter!

Unfortunately the pics were taken this morning as my memory card from yesterday is suddenly acting up. Hopefully I can get the pics off of it later.
