It was a great Easter weekend. Though I wasn't prepared for any traditional activities (egg hunts, Easter dresses, Sunday dinner, Easter baskets . . . ) the important thing was that we enjoyed the day together and had some time to think about what we're truly grateful for. Maybe because we weren't busy doing so many other things we really enjoyed Sunday afternoon. The Missionaries came over for dessert, some friends stopped by and we were able to visit with parents. I am so thankful for our little apartment, the friend's we've made, our family, and so very much for the Savior. Ironically I was asked to give the closing prayer in Sacrament meeting. I was so thankful for the chance to collect my thoughts and have a few minutes to focus on His sacrifice and resurrection. I'm grateful for the little reminders we get, like an invitation to pray, to remember and give thanks.
Beyond that, Mary and I have been playing a new game all day . . . re-hiding empty eggs all over the house. She rolls her little doll stroller around to collect the eggs. Very cute.
Mary's first Easter Egg Hunt was this weekend. She displayed vast amounts of intelligence, quick learning and self control. She carefully picked up each of her eggs and didn't take any others. Her eggs were purple with white polka-dots. She found all of them and choose hers even if it was next to another egg, even plain purple ones. I was really impressed.

perfectly said.
after the eggs you might wonder why you have the other toys. They seemed to keep my children occupied for a very long time.
That's so funny about Mary with the purple polka dot eggs. We had a little girl at our egg hunt who only wanted the orange ones. She would go around finding the orange eggs and if they were in someone else's basket she would replace it with one of a different color.
She was assigned a those eggs. Children were only supposed to collect eggs of a color assigned to them.
Wow, she's brilliant. And what kind of socialist Easter egg hunt is this?
Happy Easter! We had to give the talks on Sunday and while I was really stressed about the matter, I too was thankful for the chance to reflect on our Saviors beautiful example. Mary looks so cute!
