Easter

The week prior to Easter, we enjoyed the April General Conference (Sunday, April 2).

Andrea and Ana working on a puzzle while listening to Conference.

Inspired by Elder Stevenson's talk from General Conference, we tried to put extra emphasis on the holiday this year. Every night during our family scripture reading time, we focused on what happened on the corresponding day of Holy Week. We also tried to cover all our regular Easter traditions. That included Resurrection Rolls (Wednesday, April 5):

Miriam, Rebekah and Winnie rolling up their marshmallows dipped in butter, cinnamon and sugar in crescent rolls.

We also enjoyed a delicious Easter dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Scott's house with an egg hunt and scripture reading (Sunday, April 9).

Seth measuring Rebekah's head. Everyone wanted to know if they had humongous Grover noggins.

Winnie running to get eggs.
