Easter

April 20, Sunday

It has been a wonderful Easter Sunday! Daniel blessed the sacrament today so that was nice. They had multiple musical numbers. Andrew called a little after 2 PM. Dad was on for just a little bit and Emily and Nathaniel, too. They eventually had to go. Andrew stayed on as we started getting ready for everyone to come over for dinner at 4 PM. Everyone showed up right on time so that was really nice. We were running a little behind because the microwave wasn't working and then it was we got it all figured out. Everyone pitched in a little bit once they got here and we were all sitting down and enjoying our food by about 4:30 PM. Everyone enjoyed the dinner and gave me lots of compliments. After dinner, I thought it would be nice to call Andrew but Betsy and Geoff mentioned that they're going to go to Shawn and Crystal's so I suggested we do the egg hunt then. So we took a picture and then sent the older boys to hide the eggs. 

Then we all went down there while the kids collected all the eggs. I had one golden egg for each of them with a $10 bill in it. I can't remember what I did last year. Anyway, they were all happy about the $10.

We came back and had some dessert and Andrew called. Nathaniel got on with Charlie and everybody got to see him so that was fun. Emily got on, too. The Akers left around 6:30 PM. Steve eventually needed to leave, as well. Erin and Rich stayed so we thought it would be a good time to read from 3 Nephi chapter 11 and read the Easter lesson for today. We asked Andrew if he wanted to join us for that but he had to go so he got off the call and we did our reading. We had a prayer. We sent them home with some of the pie that Steve brought and said our goodbyes to them. 

It was a wonderful Easter and I'm so glad everyone was able to come over.
