Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was a beautiful, but busy day. I ironed all of the clothes the night before, since we had to be at church at 8:20 AM for choir practice! The choir sang 2 songs in Sacrament Meeting: "That Easter Morn" and" Come Unto Christ".  Stefanie Shepley played the violin with "That Easter Morn". Despite the fact that our choir is few in numbers, the music sounded very nice. The kids in my 8 year-old primary class were thrilled with the jelly beans that came with their scripture reference to read. We mostly read verses in the Book of Mormon that testified of Christ's resurrection. I also used the hand in the glove example to show how the spirit and the physical body come back together during resurrection. The main question all of the kids had was whether pets get resurrected. I had to tell them that I honestly don't know!

After church we had the Muellers, the Hamms, the Van Horns, Charity and her kids and John and Nate Evans over for Easter Brunch. We had ham, potatoes, asparagus, fruit salad, jell-o salad, deviled eggs, a veggie tray and pineapple. Nanette brought strawberry shortcake, chocolate trifle and I made my traditional bunny cake for the kids.

We had the rest of the day to relax and the Easter Bunny even managed to make a late appearance. He hid the kids baskets upstairs and they had to run around and find them. Syd's was in the shower; Mikelle's was in the dryer; Logan's was in the master BR armoire and Ethan's was behind the master BR curtains.
