Easter

On Saturday night, we dyed 4 dozen eggs and everyone was wishing there were more. I love all the colors.


On Sunday, we celebrated the true meaning of the day at church. This was my first Sunday back to church with Anne after month break. It will be tricky juggling church duties with the Anne's needs but doable nonetheless. Dave will actually be doing most of the work. After such a long break, it was nice to be back. And next week, I'll enjoy Sacrament meeting even more when I'm not sitting alone with five kids while Dave sings with the choir.

After church, we did a quick Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Sawyer cracked about three-fourths of the eggs along the way but they all had fun. Slade did complain that he was no good at finding eggs. I told him that I can completely relate. I was always the worst egg-finder in our childhood hunts.

In the late afternoon, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Daniels for our annual egg hunt and a most delicious dinner. I thought the day was truly delightful. The weather was nice, the food plentiful, the conversation flowing, the kids happy. What a wonderful way to spend the Sabbath.

Today the beautiful green of the wheat grass on the table made me very happy. I am growing all these buckets for my brother's upcoming wedding luncheon but it worked out perfectly for an Easter centerpiece.

So many memories engendered by the sight of the Easter eggs and smiling faces. Did the ugly egg tradition get lost in transition?
