It has been a busy weekend, but so much fun!
It all started last Thursday afternoon when we hosted the "The Excellent Easter Egg Event" for my Primary class. We have been working in class for 10 weeks to earn this party! The kids had to read their assigned reading and bring their scriptures to class each week. They did wonderful, most of the time... so we had a good time celebrating together! It is a privilege to teach these children, they are only nine, but ask very significant questions! I feel that we are really learning the gospel together.
Lindsay and Cam's birthday were part of our weekend... It was wonderful to 'celebrate' them and to take time to reflect on each of their lives and what they are accomplishing. Wow!! Cam is 31, and dad was just reflecting that he was writing his last exams for dentistry when Cam was born and he would come over and visit us during exams...does that sound a little stressful? Lindsay is now 25... yeah, she can now rent a car without paying extra premiums. Aging does have its benefits!
The snow is disappearing in the back yard as Spring approaches, this is the good news...however piles of dog poop are appearing everywhere back there, this is the bad news!! Lucky that Dad got a $45.00 pooper scooper for his Easter present! Speaking of Rachel, we have certainly grown to love her these past few months, she is so perfect for us!
Today we had our Easter Sunday dinner, but it was a little different, we had such a diverse group over that we all really didn't know quite what to say to each other. We don't remember this ever happening at our dinner table before! Things kept going downhill when we started cutting up the Easter Bunny cake and nobody wanted any!! Oh OUCH! I had spent at least 2 hours making the cute cake and it ended up in squished pieces going home in someone's backpack!
However, this weekend, we have felt so grateful for the sweet gifts that our Saviour has given to us! What a wonderful time to reflect and express thanks to Him for His infinite atonement!
