We enjoyed a really nice Easter season this year. This was the first time we attempted to dye eggs with Madeline. I envisioned it being much messier than it actually was. She loved every second of it. She even got to do it twice this year. Unfortunately, she came down with a freak 5 hour stomach flu the morning the Easter Bunny was scheduled to come, so we postponed the hunt until this evening. She didn't mind a bit that the Easter Bunny was a week late.
We spent Easter weekend in Logan with my parents and some of my siblings. It's become a lot more difficult to make it down there with our work schedule, so the trip was short but really nice. My parents invited some chinese students that work in my dad's department over for Easter dinner. One of the students lived with my parents for a time, and she's really become part of our family. We all dyed eggs after dinner because the girls had never seen that done before. It's been fun to learn about one another's cultures.
We are especially grateful this time of year for the resurrection of our Savior and for the signs of new life that Easter symbolizes. Trees and plants are just starting to blossom here, and I love the sense of renewal and beauty they bring. We are getting more and more exited for the new life that will join our family in just a few short weeks.
