Easter Party

To celebrate Easter, we thought it would be fun to have our Utah neices and nephews over to hunt for easter eggs. Having felt like I had cleverly hidden each of the 40 eggs, I was slightly disappointed when the hunt didn't require more than about 3 minutes. I'm glad to know that we have smart neices and nephews.

After the hunt, Steve and I hosted the Mosbackers and the Gibbons families for Easter Egg Special, a special Easter dinner that the Monson family has as a tradition. Besides Lia and Quinn, it seems that everyone enjoyed it.

Mikayla even had 3 helpings!
Joshua and little Nathan got to know each other.
And we had a good time sitting and talking!


On Easter morning, we were surprised to see snow outside! Come on spring!!
I was entertained to see how well my little easter egg decorations collected all of the snow.

We want you to know that we are truly grateful for the Savior. We each have a testimony that the Savior lived perfectly and that he suffered for every sin before dying on the cross. We also have a testimony that he rose from the grave and has overcome death. We are grateful for the sacrifice that He made for us that will allow us to return to our Heavenly Father.

Happy Easter!

Oh, Mikayla looks so much different! Thanks for posting pics, Natalie.

Glad you had a nice Easter. I'm curious about the special dinner: what was it?

Easter Egg Special is chopped boiled eggs in a kind of Hollandaise sauce. Its kind of an acquired taste, but I like it!
