Easter Day

The girls looked so cute in their spring dresses, that I couldn't resist a picture. I wanted one of the boys too...but about .2 seconds after running through the door, Taylor was out of his church clothes and into shorts and a t-shirt...and Matthew's pants had somehow fallen off and he was running around in his sweater and a onesie. Go figure. So here are our beautiful girls! And after the kitchen fiasco of the day before (if you're confused...just read the previous post) I'm still smiling...and everything turned out fine. Ham, potatoes, salads, deviled eggs, crescent rolls, and....trifle.
Um...Andy wanted me to take a picture of the masterpiece. I told him that for Mother's Day, I'd really like a trifle dish...he told me that's not entirely "legal". What does that mean?
Yummy... I love trifle.
And I just thought the kids were so cute. I had come around the corner, and all four were sitting in the living room eating Peeps and getting ready to play a game that the Easter Bunny had left for them. And as always...Matthew is right in the middle of things. But by now, someone has found him some pants to wear, so he's in his church sweater and jogging pants. Nice.
It was a great Easter day. We had some friends come over for dinner, and were so glad to have some help eating all of the yummy food. (I seem to have a difficult time with small portion sizes.)

The talks given in church were so good, as well as the Relief Society lesson. (Thanks Mayfield Ward!) And after we said good-bye to guests, we were able to visit with family on the phone, put the kids to bed, and then Andy and I read a chapter out of President Monson's book, "Pathways to Perfection". The entire chapter was about the miracle of Christ's resurrection, and how we will be reunited with our loved ones again...that death is not final. It just seemed like a perfect ending to a great Easter Sunday.
