April
The first weekend of April was spent watching General Conference. I love conference and always get so excited for this weekend!! This year I found some fun ideas on www.sugardoodle.net to help kids pay attention to general conference. While I was sharing the ideas with our siblings for their kids, I decided that Andrew and I might as well incorporate a few of the ideas into our conference weekend. We set up our "conference reverence tent" in the front room and played conference bingo with jelly beans and m&ms. It was a lot of fun, but more importantly, we learned a lot from church leaders and felt the spirit. What a great weekend!!
The next weekend was Easter. On Saturday we woke up and had eggs benedict for breakfast- a tradition Andrew's family had while he was growing up. Then that afternoon while Andrew was studying, the easter bunny found our house and left a trail for Andrew to follow to his easter basket (something the easter bunny did at my house one year when i was younger). We finished the day with a trip to the temple and the easter video on the church website. On Easter Sunday we did a spiritual easter egg hunt to help remind us of the real reason we celebrate Easter-the Savior's Resurrection. We are so very grateful for this gift and the knowledge that our Savior loves us! For dinner, we had a yummy dinner of ham, cheesy potatoes, Rhodes rolls, peas, and strawberry shortcake. Our celebration didn't stop on Sunday because on Monday we received an Easter package from my mom. We hid the eggs she sent and ate some candy!
