Easter Sunday 2009

Man, what a day! Everything from church to egg hunts to dinner to softball! It was as perfect as it could get, well almost... Henrik sends his Easter wishes from West Sweden. Sharyl made a wonderful dinner for all of us after church today. It was Fast Sunday which means that the members who chose to do so stand up and say what they are grateful for. It's always nice when I go to church with the kids when one of them stands up and bears their testimony. Jason did that today, and of course Tawni and I sit there with tears rolling down our cheeks when he tells the members how important is wife, his miracle daughter and his proud Mom are to him in his life.

After the formalities of church are over, it's off with the church clothes and on with the fun clothes! Bishop Dave, Sharyl, Jason, Tawni, Stella, Jared, Andrea, Cort and myself had a terrific Lasagne dinner. Sharyl even prepared one seperate pan of lasagne for me that was Gluten Free. She is so awesome. As soon as we finished dinner, we had an Easter Egg Hunt for Stella in the Courtyard. She was so dang cute! She marched around there finding those eggs like a pro. She was amazing all of us with her egg-fetching capabilities, LOL. As soon as that was over, we all took off to the park here in Coral Canyon for a family game of softball. I will tell you that considering both Jason and Cort are outstanding ball players, Jared and the girls gave them a run for their money! Tawni and Andrea were kicking some butt and even Mom put some in the outfield, Haha. We laughed and played until the sun went down and now everyone is talking about a regular weekly family softball game. That will be all well and good until it starts to reach 115 degrees outside!

Anyway, enjoy the slideshow and Stella's cute little Easter outfit.
