Quick Easter Wrap Up

(A Madison Easter greeting card original, with empty tomb detail)

Our Easter celebrations started Thursday evening with a trip to the temple to watch the Easter Pageant. It was beautiful (and cold) while we ate tuna sandwiches on our metal folding chairs. Our own Easter miracle was that Sophie was well behaved enough to watch the entire production (from my lap while I whispered a steady stream of interpretive dialogue into her curious ears).

Friday we ventured into new egg dying territory with Martha Stewart as our guide.

Saturday was spent enjoying conference and making Easter hair accessories (pictures will be forth coming, but see if you can spot the fruits of our labors (er petals of our labor?) in the crazy family picture.

Sunday, more spiritual enlightenment via conference and Sunday dinner with the in laws.

And for a brief conference roundup report, I'll say that the talks that most spoke directly to me were Elder Bednar's and Elder Hales, mainly where they two overlapped in their parenting council. "Mom, are you in there?" is still ringing in my ears, but in a very good way. I love listening to our leaders.
