Easter Weekend




We had a full weekend of Easter happenings. On Friday night we set up for the ward breakfast with the help of the young men. After that we went to the temple and did a session while Kristi did confirmations with the youth. On the way home it was rainy with a little touch of snow. The whole time I was wondering what we were going to do about the Easter Egg hunt. In the morning when I woke up about 5:00 I noticed there was snow on the ground and the wind was blowing....(of course) Plan B.....Chad and I got a big trailer from the shop so the High Priest could cook breakfast......Plan C......it was too smoky in the trailer so we found a corner of the church that was protected from the wind and they cooked breakfast there. Breakfast was great and we had a small Easter program .....Plan D....it was too cold for the children to find eggs outside so the young women hid the eggs inside the church....We had a good crowd so I figured each child could find about 8 eggs. I was busy in the kitchen but when I came out I noticed that children had ALOT of eggs in their baskets, so I asked, "did all the children get to find some eggs?" "Yes" was the reply "there was plenty of eggs especially after we found the jack pot!" The "jack pot" just happened to be the other wards easter eggs for their party at 12:30.......So the ward rallied together and we ran to town and got plastic eggs and filled them again for the other ward........I promise this was just an innocent mistake!
We had family home on Sunday, we had Easter dinner between sessions. After the afternoon session we had an adult scavenger hunt and an Easter egg hunt for the little ones. I don't know about you but I am so tired today I just want to take a nap. Happy Easter!
