Happy Easter!

We really enjoyed Easter this year. Well for the most part we did. The kids all found their Easter baskets the Easter bunny left for them. Dylan complained that the Easter bunny always hides his basket up high. Savannah was pleased as punch to find her basket and that it was filled will all pink eggs and a new pink poodle beanie baby. We also told the kids that the Easter bunny had one more surprise. We are all going to Disneyland in two weeks. They were so excited.

We have early church that that meant getting up early and getting everyone ready to go. Normally this would be fine except for the fact I stayed up way too late the night before preparing my Easter lesson. It was combined YW and all of the advisor’s had to give the lesson. Well there are only three of us and at 8:00 I got a call from one of them telling me they were sick. Yippee skipee I got her part added to me....AHGGGG. It, I hope turned out all right. We did the last week of Christ's life. I had day 5 and 6. As you know this is the heaviest part of the lesson. Since my darling other advisor was ill I also did day 7 and 8. We really wanted the girls to have a good experience, so we got allot of props for our table. We had food. (Goat cheese, pita bread, olives, golden raisins and almonds.) In lieu of wine we gave them grape juice. It was fun to see them soak in the tastes and smells. I also brought a crown on thorns, linen cloth, wooden bowl and towel and myrrh. I picked up myrrh in Marrakech back in January. I knew I would need it for something. :-) I wanted to really badly show this and this
but I couldn't get a signal to my laptop. If you haven't seen it take few minutes and check it out. It's awesome. Any way the lesson turned out as good as it could have. Later in the day we enjoyed a yummy meal at my mom's house. The kids got to have a fun Easter egg hunt. We then went to Jim's sister's house and visited with his family that gathered to celebrate Easter. It was a fun day. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
