Joyous day
I love it when Easter weekend and Conference weekend coincide. It means there's a lot of this:
[Watching conference + napping. Inspiration by osmosis]
It's hyggli + inspiring. The kids used to call it "pajama church" and it's almost the sole reason we have DirectTV satellite--so we can watch conference here in the comfort of home rather than go to the church. In between sessions we go on walks and make lemon meringue pie and sit in the sun. It's the great gateway weekend to spring.
In keeping with tradition, the Easter Bunny hid the baskets: Sam's was in the dryer, Maddy's in the bathroom closet invisible behind the bandaids and hair products, and Lauren's tied up in the shower. (Note: in our house one Easter Bunny gets the basket treasures and lovingly fills the baskets, a different Easter Bunny hides the baskets, the harder to find the better. Let's call them Beneficent Easter Bunny and Trickster Easter Bunny, shall we?)
Sam just reminded us that we haven't dyed Easter eggs yet. We get later and later in the holiday with Easter eggs and pumpkin carving. Before long we'll do Flag Day Easter eggs and Nativity jack-o-lanterns. Or so I fear. Sam, faithfully upholding the role of the youngest, keeps us honest in our sticking with traditions. We're lucky we have him around...life is a lot more fun if you do things Sam's way.

LOVE the sleeping pic. I must admit to a bit of a nap during some 70's talks this afternoon. After a full, huge meal, I couldn't help it. This was a GREAT weekend, though, wasn't it? We just got back from a lovely walk to try and dispose of some of the Easter calories.
your day looks loverly. We loved the peeps contest-- thanks for sending us over there-- maybe we should have our own contest next year?
I bet the trickster bunny is a boy. Happy Easter!
It is a favorite Sunday for sure! We listened to the afternoon session in the car on the way to Provo for your grandfather's birthday celebration and Easter dinner, of course. Some fine talks were given. And there were some that made me want to fall asleep like Sam. Mixed bag, that Gen Conf event. Loved Holland's and Eyring's and Cook's.
Pajama church. I love it. I vote we start petitioning to having it every week.
That is picture perfect. I am out when Hales hits the mic. His voice is just too soothing. Conference is the best!
