This Easter we stayed home instead of going to Utah. Since we were in Portland the weekend before, we thought we should just be at home.
On Friday the kids decorated their baskets with ribbon they had picked out. I need to remember that the best gifts are ones that we can do something with them instead of just something they can do by themselves. They loved decorating. Next year I need to get some spring decorations.
On Saturday we woke up and Eloise and I ran out for bagels. We watched the Saturday morning session of conference and it went okay. I'm sure as they get older (at least I'm told) conference gets better and better for the kids. We realize that at 4, 3, and 1 we can't expect them to sit the whole time, or understand everything that's being said. I planned one activity-I found ovals with pictures in them. I showed them all the pictures before the session started. Then, when they heard the words during conference, they had to find the picture and color it and they could eat a snack at the table. They loved it. We didn't get through all of them on Saturday morning, but finished Sunday morning.
Shannon, Jared and Lucas came over, along with Dad, Donna and Shannon's mom and aunt for the egg hunt. Jordan carried on the golden egg tradition and Freddie found the egg.
We ate lunch with Dad and Donna and Jordan and I watched the afternoon session while the kids took really long naps (chocolate crash).
Jordan went to priesthood session that night and I found time to vacuum, mop, and talk to Adrienne about conference. It was a good day.
