We spent Easter weekend in Wellsville. Mom, Tom, Marlee and I started out the weekend by coloring easter eggs Friday night. We had seen all these different ideas on Pinterest we wanted to try out. We used kool-aid for the dye, which worked great. All the other ideas pretty much were a major failure. The old trick of writing on the egg with a crayon before coloring it was basically the winner.
Saturday we went to Baby Animal Days (covered in the previous post). We had been giving my Mom a hard time about if we were going to be getting baskets and have an egg hunt. We went to church together on Sunday and I totally enjoyed Jan Maughan's talk in church about the atonement. His analogy about thinking about the most pain you have ever been in and comparing it to Christ hanging there in total agony for 6 hours was very humbling for me. It really helped make the atonement real for me. His talk and the beautiful musical numbers made for a special Easter meeting.
That afternoon Mom actually ended up having Dad hide eggs. Luckily Emily and her girls showed up in time to help us out with the hunt so we didn't look like a bunch of idiots wandering around the yard. They then joined us for a delicious ham dinner. When we got home to Salt Lake Hydee had us a fun basket. We had a really fun weekend.
