Happy Easter

The girls had a really fun Easter. They colored eggs the night before:

and did a really good job. I think this is the first time we have colored eggs with them. The whole family colored eggs, even me. I colored the eggs while I was baking a cheesecake for Easter dinner.

For Easter the Easter bunny brought them new dresses along with some fun things for them to do, like mini-light brights and animal puzzles. They were really excited when they woke up and found new dresses.



The most important thing is that they open when they twirl and they do. They looked so cute in the new dresses. Their pictures don't bring them justice. Spencer asked CJ why we have Easter and we were really impressed with how much she knew. Spencer told her it was to celebrate Jesus living again. Then CJ informed Spencer that Jesus died for us so that we could live with Heavenly Father again. We were really taken back at how much she knew about the Atonement.

For dinner we fed the Missionaries. We had ham, jello, spinach salad, fresh rolls, mashed potatoes, and deviled eggs with the eggs we colored the night before. I even made fresh pomegranate limeade to drink and a raspberry cheesecake for dessert. The missionaries were very full and satisfied when they left. I did my job.

Love to all of you, MOM/grandma
