Easter

I love Easter! I think that it only fitting that we celebrate the Resurrection of the Savior at a time of year that the Earth seems to be doing the same thing! The weather has been so nice, new grass is starting to sprout up, the trees are budding and of course my allergies are kickin in!

On Thursday during the day we (well, mostly Alan-cause I had to work) worked on some more home repair projects. With any luck, we will have everything just the way we want it before we move! For family home evening we took advantage of the weather to plant some new herbs, bulbs and perennials in our teeny, tiny yard.

On Friday we went to the Temple and we able to do the Endowment work for a brother and sister in my family. We hope to have the whole family ready to seal by July for Sarah's wedding.

We finished the evening off with some egg coloring/decorating. We had a ton of fun-we tried a new method of using rubber bands to "tie-dye" our eggs and have decided this will be an often used method-but WARNING: rubberbands stretched too tight will either break and send dye shooting in multiple directions or fling into a neighboring dye cup and then send more dye splashing!
It is a good thing one of our little "home projects" is to re-finish the dining room table, and our freshly painted walls were easy to wipe off! Alan's sleeve to his sweathirt did not fare as well, nor our tax return that was sitting on the corner of the table! Can you imagine the look on that accountants face when he sees our form! :)


I guess you are never too old to enjoy a good egg coloring session!

Easter Sunday after church we went to have dinner at my Nana's relatives house in Richardson. It was fun to meet my Great Aunt Jo's family. Especially those who actually remember meeting me when I was about 9 months old.
