Easter Weekend

Troy came home on Thursday with lots of Easter stuff, and he sweetly shared his eggs with his brother and sister. On Monday that week we had FHE about Easter and talked about the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Videos from the Mormon Channel were fantastic to watch. I was part of an Easter program for the stake, with the harp, and it made Easter extra special for me. We tried to talk to Troy more about it and how much it means to us. 

My mom arrived Thursday evening and we were so excited to see her! Troy had school off because of Good Friday (love the faith in the South.) We spent the morning playing games with Grandma. 

On Easter morning we had an Easter egg hunt before conference started. These three love having each other to play with. 

Troy got this drawing book (Thanks to my cousin Lindsay with Usborne books.) I knew he would love it, it was such a great purchase. It occupied him for the rest of conference.

These three tend to stick together. Unless the boys are watching a show, then Katelyn comes and follows me. 

I have been THE biggest slacker with homemade breads. We have been pretty consumed with house projects. But, for Easter I made the Lion House rolls. Oh my goodness, I could eat a whole pan. This was before they were cooked. An after picture would have been better, but... oh well.

It was so special to have my mom here. She has been going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. They are hopeful with eradicating it, but the chemo is obviously a tough thing to go through. My mom doesn't complain and stays so positive. She is a great example. 

At the end of conference, Devin, Sarah, and Tim arrived after their LONG drive from Utah. We were so excited to see them! Next post!
