Happy Easter

We are so grateful that we were able to spend Easter listening to our church leader for general conference. There seems to me no better way to celebrate our savior Jesus Christ then to be uplifted and be taught and how to return to him once more.

We had a wonderful Easter. It started early, too early. We told the boys go ahead and look at your baskets when you wake up. At 4 am we hear thump thump thump down the hall, then back up the hall, then down the stairs, back up the stairs, down the hall again, and finally into our room at which time we were awoken by excited little voices telling us what was in their baskets. We got out of bed and came down to enjoy their excitement. We then watched Princess and the Frog with them and sent them back to bed until 8.

At 8 we shoved some cereal down them, trying to start the day out with at least something that wasn't candy. They then headed outside to find where the eggs were hidden.

We enjoyed watching General Conference, and our kids did very very well, especially considering the amount of sugar flowing through their veins. In between sessions Grandpa and Grandma Fredericks had and Easter Egg Hunt for the boys. Followed by a delicious meal. Everyone was thoroughly stuffed and it is a wonder we stayed awake for the last session.

After General Conference we spent the evening in the backyard watching our boys catch bugs with the bug catchers, play with bubbles, and enjoying the beautiful weather. Boys were asleep by 8, Joe and I fell asleep on the couch.
