This year Easter weekend was packed.
First on Saturday morning we went to our primary activity of breakfast and an easter egg hunt.
We got there 20 minutes late and the hunt was over and we barely grabbed a doughnut before they were gone.
Needless to say "ALWAYS be on time to an Easter Egg hunt."
Because we had missed this hunt we drove back to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt, arriving 15 minutes early to make sure we didn't miss anything. The girls got to see the Easter bunny and collect some eggs.
We went home and watched General Conference, pulled some weeds, I made our Easter dinner of honey baked ham, scallop potatoes, rolls, and fresh fruit and dip. It was lovely...and then Lance was off to priesthood for the evening. After I put the girls to bed I treated myself to a couple hours of The Ten Commandments and ate too many jelly beans.
P.S. After the talk in Conf. about lust I think I may have lusted Charlton Heston a little to much.
Easter morning greeted us with Easter baskets and jelly beans hidden all around the house.
We headed off to a neighborhood/ward breakfast to meet some new people and came home to watch morning Conf.
After Conference we went to an "Easter party" hosted by Lance's secretary, Katie.
There was a 700 egg Easter egg hunt, fajitas, and music...
Unfortunately it wasn't very "spiritual" and after a few hours we gratefully headed back to our car to listen to the Mormon Tab. Choir and to get back into the spirit of Easter.
Overall it was a busy, but lovely weekend. I am always so sad that Conference goes by so fast and that I wasn't able to sit and listen as well as I used to. Small children are NOT conducive to listing to 8 hours of talking!~
Luckily we Tivo'd it so we can rewatch it and get more out of it. There were some great talks and testimony of our Savior born and I felt the spirit very strongly.
I think it was nice it was on Easter and nice to have both the spirit of His resurrection and the spirit of General Conference on the same weekend.
I'm sad it's over.
Hope you all had a lovely Easter
and good luck getting rid of all the candy...

What a fun easter! Beths hair is cute short! I hope you guys are doing well, are you going to utah this summer?
When did you get Beth's hair cut? I love it! What a perfect summer do. And look how cute your girls are in their matching outfits! I try to color coordinate Halle and Sam, but it's just not the same as matching outfits.
I'm with you, the weekend went by much to fast! Beth and Iz look darling in their matching dresses, and Beth's hair is adorable. Was it her idea or your's to chop it? Spencer noticed right off that Her hair was cut!
Darling pictures :)

Oh my gosh! Beth's hair is cut! It looks cute, just like her mom's short haircuts. :)
