Thursday, we did more shopping in the morning, then Joan left for Vegas to meet Tom and Kristen and family came that evening. We colored eggs and then went on our "cold" picnic/Easter egg hunt. It really was chilly and windy, but we still had fun.
Friday, Joan and Tom got in in the afternoon. We spent the day cooking and baking in preparation for our family Heritage Dinner which we held at Pam's that night. The food was delicious- all from countries of our heritage. We concluded the dinner with toasts of "Cheers" in every language.
Saturday was conference (complete with the traditional butterscotch rolls for breakfast). Between sessions we had a "warm" picnic/ Easter egg hunt at the park. After the priesthood session, we had cafe rio and visited into the night.
Sunday, the Easter bunny came and left candy (and proof that he had been here- his droppings on our doorstep) Then Joan and family left and then we enjoyed more wonderful conference with our Easter Dinner between sessions: Ham, Funeral potatoes, asparagus, rolls, and cupcakes for dessert. Kristen and Jared left just before the afternoon session started. It was a wonderful week/ weekend. Thank you for coming Joan and family and Kristen and family! Happy Easter to everyone!!!!

This time of year always reminds me of staying with you guys. In fact I made scotch-a-roos for dessert today because they remind me of Easter at your house. Looks like you guys had a lovely weekend & I hope I can make that heritage dinner sometime, yum!
Looks like a lot of fun! I can't wait until Gigi is old enough to go on an easter egg hunt. And those butterscotch rolls sound amazing!!
That's right, where were the Scotcharoos?! jk Thanks so much for hosting the Trasher's again. We had such a wonderful week. It is our favorite thing to spend spring break in St. George.
Hi Kay,
Your weekend sounds like it was wonderful and tasty! Hopefully next year we can come for the Heritage Dinner! I love all of your pictures! Your grandkids are so cute!
I look forward to seeing you and Pam soon!
So, so fun. Easter weekend doesn't get any better than that. You got some great pictures. I love the one of Nathan getting the egg from the tree. Cool. And the one of you and Nathan cuddling. So sweet.
SO fun! I LOVE Brielley's dress. And that is adorable that her baby-doll's dress matches! Her twirling picture is my favorite, I think. You always do such a good job documenting your time with those cute grand-kids!
You have visitors every weekend!! Can we come too? Looks like a fun family party and the food yum-o!
I love that Nathan had the big basket while Brielle had the teensy one, so funny. And I would love some of that lemon pie from South Africa. Did Kristen make Brielle's Easter dress? She's so adorable!
