We had a perfect Easter this year. The weather was snowy and cold but that didn't stop the Easter Bunny from coming. The kids hauled in the loot this year, the bunny must have been feeling extra generous. Lucky, lucky children.
What made it even more enjoyable was the fact that it was Conference Sunday. That meant no Bishopric meetings for daddy, pajamas for nearly the whole day, and many, many uplifting and spiritual talks to feed the soul. Every talk was so meaningful and I truly felt spiritually fed.
Plus daddy felt like experimenting and tried out a new recipe once again. He made stuffed french toast. He used homemade bread, a cream cheese and raspberry filling and encrusted the whole thing with crushed pecans and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal. They were delicious.
Between the sessions of conference we decorated Easter Eggs of course. We always go crazy and I boiled 3 dozen eggs for the event. I figure it is cheap entertainment and the kids love it. As always the creativity came out and when all was said and done we had a beautiful plethora of dazzling eggs.
After the last session of conference we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a family dinner and Easter Egg Hunt. As always, the food was plentiful and delicious. We are all getting pretty good at coming up with new and creative meals. It takes a lot to feed 20 people but we usually are successful and we always have our fill.
When we were finished with our meal, we head over to Uncle Dane's family's house. He and Amberly had prepared an Easter Egg Hunt for all of the nieces and nephews. It was a huge success. Since his family lives on a farm, there are many places to hide the eggs. Alyssa had an especially hard time finding the ones they hid for her. The kids loved it and I loved that they actually had to "hunt" to be rewarded.
When we were finished we were able to pet Amber and Dane's horses, which is always a hit with the kids.
To wind down the festivities we had Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes, made by yours truly. It was a decadent ending to an amazing day.

4. Tell Roger that we're on the list for a small serving of his newest creation. You know we don't diet so we're always up for a sample.
