Easter 2011

Easter weekend consisted of:

* The Primary Easter Egg Hunt for the ward
(Of which I was in charge of the food...yippee)

*Painting the baby's room
(Thankfully Lance did most of it... I'll post pictures when I'm done with it)

* The neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt
(Shown below... I never really got a good picture)

* Dying Easter Eggs with Dad
(I was making a carrot cake at the time)



* Easter baskets
(By the time Lance and I got up the baskets were a mess and Easter egg grass was ALL OVER THE HOUSE... hence no pictures.)

* Beth gave her first talk in Primary
(It was about Easter and the Atonement and she did very well)

*Church...
I love the Spirit I feel at church on Easter Sunday. I love reinforcing the love Jesus Christ has for us, enough to die and suffer for our sins. I love thinking about that first Easter morning when Christ was resurrected and stood in front of the tomb comforting Mary. I love talking about the real meaning of Easter with my girls.

* Family pictures
(We did the whole timer on the camera... run to the couch thing.....it seemed to work)




* Watched part of The Ten Commandments
( I love this Easter tradition... although finding time to watch all 4 hours of it gets tricky)

* Enjoyed my first homemade carrot cake after a fabulous Easter dinner of shrimp!

Hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend.

Love your girls' dresses! Where did you get them? Looks like a fun weekend. I bet your carrot cake was better than my lemon cake...
