Easter

We are so glad we had the opportunity to attend the "Savior of the World" in Anaheim. Rod's aunt invited us to see this production that their stake put on. I wouldn't say I am really into plays and musicals, but I was really impressed with this show! They did a fantastic job! It's amazing to me that one stake was able to pull together so much talent, time and resources to put on such a production. It was truly inspiring and a wonderful tribute to the life and resurrection of Christ. I loved it and would recommend it to any of you who have the opportunity to see it. I was a little worried how the kids would act during the show, but they actually did pretty well. During the intermission many people complimented us on our "well-behaved" kids. It was a struggle to keep them entertained the whole time, just as it is in sacrament meeting. I was pleased with how well they did though

Nathan had a lot of fun last week going to Easter egg hunts, our ward party, doing Easter crafts with me and eating candy – probably way too much candy! It was so nice to have an Easter egg hunt outside this year. It was impossible last year when we were in Wisconsin because there was 2 feet of snow on the ground. He was so excited about all of the fun things he got to do. It's fun for me and Rod to watch Nathan's excitement as he experiences these things for the first time. We enjoyed a peaceful weekend together as a family at home. It was so nice that Rod got the whole weekend off too!

Annikka laughed pretty hard when she watched the boys hunt for eggs

This is the paper mache egg I helped Nathan make - it was messy and a lot of fun!

A picture of Annikka we took in our flower patch - I think we killed a few flowers :)
