Conference and Easter

Saturday Morning

I love conference weekend. I look forward to it each time. Something about it just makes me happy, every time. This year, with it being on Easter weekend, it seemed that much more special to me.

Saturday morning, we listened to conference and decorated Easter eggs. Becky bought this "Monster" decorating kit. It came with facial expression stickers, pipe cleaners for the arms and legs, and a cotton-like fuzz for the hair. The kids had a blast coloring their eggs, and it surprisingly kept them entertained and quiet so we could listen to the talks on the tv!

(This one, in particular, reminds me of Sloth from the Goonies..

"Ruth! Ruth! Baby... Ruth!")

We hid this one on the light bulb in our chandelier above the dining table. Great hiding spot, right? Wrong-O. The lights were on for about 20 minutes and melted the hair to the bulb! We could NOT get the hair off the light bulb! Instead we had to rip the hair off the egg, and change the light bulb! Tough stuff when it melts and solidifies!

Sunday Morning

We invited the three missionaries serving in our stake (E. Apo, E. Collins, and E. Lotz) to come over for breakfast and to watch the morning session of conference with us. In addition to them, Michael and Mindy were here visiting for the weekend. Becky threw on her "Domestic Diva" apron, handed Elder Collins the matching "Diva in Training" apron and we made breakfast for all 10 of us before conference started. A LOT of food for one sitting at the breakfast table! But with five men eating, what do you expect?

We ate, and then hung out watching, listening, and coloring to the talks. It was great having visitors to share Easter morning and conference with in our home!
