Easter Happenings

What a beautiful day in Scottsdale, Arizona.  It is only made better by three things...1) It's Easter, so we are able to relax and think about our Savior. 2) It is General Conference so we are blessed that even though we don't reside in Utah, we are able to watch and hear the leaders of our church give us guidance from the sanctity of our home. 3) All of our children are here with us and being somewhat...peaceful.

So the first session of conference is over and as tradition holds in our family, each of us have taken notes ( I wish to say that the notetaking was because all of the kids were so intent on hearing the words of the prophet, but alas...no.  It is because the prize for passing the quiz this time is $20 each.) and we are now relaxing and enjoying this time.  Each preparing for the second session in their own way.

First there is Patrick who is exhasuted from his morning workout on Wii Fit. So he is kicking back reading his guitar mag, waiting for the right moment to break out into song on his guitar.

Then there is Elli and Mary.  Elli trying to work on her moves as the master hula hooper on the Fit. While Mary so empathetically eats her ice cream.

Our snuggly Kate is as happy as ever that all her family is home just waiting on her every cute move.  She loves the whole "the world is my oyster" concept and as you can see oysters aren't the only thing that she is being fed!

Lastly, my sweetheart PJ.  Worked so hard to make us a wonderful Easter breakfast (better for those who are not perpetually on a diet) and followed by an interesting plate of deviled eggs all while helping Mary with her GC notetaking.  He deserved his General Conference interlude nap.

What a wonderful day.
