This past weekend was so wonderful! We had the opportunity to watch General Conference and celebrate Easter just the 4 of us. It was nice to hang out at home eating our conference snacks and listen to the awesome messages from our leaders. I usually come away from General Conference with 1 or 2 favorite talks; but I am still undecided as I loved so many of them and felt they were directly applicable to me. I'm so glad that we can already access these words on the internet so that we can be buoyed by the Spirit again and again as we take these messages to heart! After the last session on Sunday, we had a yummy dinner of ham, cheesy potatoes, and homemade rolls. MMMMM......Here are a few snapshots of our great weekend:
Lots of sugar cookies to share with friends! A flower garden....
...a basket of eggs.....
...and bunnies and chicks running around everywhere!
A new tradition - a puzzle to work on while watching conference.
I didn't realize that something to keep their hands busy would help the girls stay so attentive. They were even commenting on what the speakers were saying. I should have tried this years ago!
Some of the "girls" in the ward got together to color eggs while the "boys" attended the Priesthood session.
It makes for a fun late night party since the session is from 8-10pm local time.
Alexis' creations....Julee preferred to watch a movie with the other teens and I made the 3rd one on the top row for Rick. It says "I luv U" around the egg.
The Easter bunny visited and even left a note on our fridge!
Thanks Grandma for supplying the egg hunt! It was a fun surprise for the girls! They were thrilled to see that Grandma had come through for them with money in the eggs!
Opening the eggs....and showing off the spoils.
As you can see, the Easter bunny is too busy too leave a pretty basket. He just unloads his bag on our dining room table. It looks like he went a little overboard again this year!
We hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did ours!

Easter and Conference, what a neat day. It is always a blessing to watch conference and see our leaders as they speak to all of us.
