Happy Easter

Yesterday we had a fabulous Easter Sunday. Easter is one of my favorite holidays because it usually happens when spring is coming and there is a newness to life. It seems I develop more energy and just feel happy to see some green grass. (Well we won't get that excited here in Winnipeg yet). My sister in law sent me a pic of a blooming flower in BC so I know it is coming. Anyway yesterday was Abby's first Easter and I got some pics of her in her new beautiful dress. She was such a sport and let me take a lot of pics. Here is a cute one or her and her Dad. I put a barrett in her hair for the first time which was kind of fun. Of course when we got to church it fell out but Abby's cousins tried to fix it and then she ended up on Aunt Vicki's lap and she had to fix it but hey it was a great effort on my part.

At church I was able to do the music in primary again and that was so much fun. It is definitely one of my favorite places to serve. I love hearing the kids bear their testimony through song. Aren't children just amazing?

After church we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house for yummy dinner, photo shoot, and the annual Easter egg hunt. I love how Ryan's parents still do an Easter Egg Hunt for us "older kids". It was a riot. Our friends Theresa and David were there as well and I think they were surprised at our competitive spirit. It was all in fun and of course they all go on the table for sharing after.
As for the photo shoot I am so grateful for Ryan's Dad who is an amazing photographer and takes so much time to get cute photos of us. He does an amazing job and it saves us going to someplace where a stranger is trying to get Abby to smile. As soon as I get the pics I will post one of our family pics. Of course I have to say a big thank you to Grandma who always makes these amazing dinners. It is such a treat to come straight from church to a yummy dinner. We are so lucky to have such great family so close!!
On a total side note I agreed to be the nurse for girls camp again this year. I am so excited because it was such a spiritual boost for me last year. However it means leaving my adorable girl for five whole days. We will see how that goes I am sure it will be great for everyone.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with their family.
