Easter/ Conference

Easter time is a fabulous time but more so when it coincides with Conference weekend. Extra bonus points when the weather is fabulous!

We dyed eggs for the first time as a family. Mad props to Mom for not freaking out over the little cups of colored, possibly forever staining water hoovering meer feet above her new flooring. (none dripped...we were all good). Char unceremoniously plopped hers into the water. Clark colored a bit and Dad tried to leave some coded Aztec message and really nailed the execution! The kids were jealous and amazed at his two toned egg...maybe next year guys. 

We did the basket thing and went simple this year with a bit of candy, memory books, bunny poppers and race cars. 

Because of the beautiful weather, we spent almost all of Saturday outside at the park or in the backyard. Charlotte spent most of it half naked in her hand me down Spiderman underwear:) And when Mom cleaned out the Halloween bucket she added a dash of cauldron and cat ears to finish the ensemble. 

Why save sledding for the snow? Get your very own "grass sled" today and enjoy the fun year round. 

We signed Clark up for soccer but now we are wondering if we should have done T-ball. This kid can hit! 

For the first time since having kids, we tried really hard this year to take the focus off the "bunny" and put it back on Christ. With a little help from my roomate, Becca, we made an Easter advent type activity with easter eggs. 

Every night we would have an "egg hunt" and inside would be some candy, scripture, songs, and a video about the last week of Jesus' life. Charlotte was pretty oblivious but we had some good conversations with Clark about the true meaning of Easter and what happened each day. General Conference was a perfect addition to the spirit of the week. 

And it helps when Dad manages to pull of a pretty sweet lego Temple. 

Happy Easter to us all!
