* Joe had a ‘medical procedure’ done on Friday.
Since I couldn’t be inside of the room with him when it took place, he was kind enough to take this ‘selfie’ for me. He really does have the best sense of humor.
{And no worries – – ALL is WELL!}
* We picked up the kiddos from my parents house afterwards and headed home for the rest of the day.
* Our cute friends the Anderson’s insisted on bringing us dinner.
Barro’s Pizza + Gourmet Cupcakes = the way to my heart.
So grateful for such kind friends!!
* Afterwards, I headed over to the most darling little engagement party
at our church.
I absolutely Love LoVe LOVED this color scheme with the stripes.
* Joe and I stayed up late Friday night watching Dateline and 20/20.
{Did anyone else see the 20/20? The bit on how people spend THOUSANDS of dollars on psychics? Good gravy!}
* Saturday morning was our Annual Easter Egg Hunt at the park right by our house.
The sugar rush of the weekend,
officially began NOW.
* We headed home and rounded up my brother and nephew to dye Easter eggs with us.
I thought I was SUPER clever this year, by purchasing the plastic white eggs that you can color.
{Because for reals – who really needs 24 hard boiled eggs?!}
And while it WAS nice to not boil eggs –
these plastic ones were a BUST.
They did not take to the dye very well at ALL!
{Plus – we had no deviled eggs to eat afterwards so….next year it’s back to the traditional route.}
* We baked up my mom’s recipe for Carrot Cake {the best of the best} and delivered them to a few of our peeps.
* I managed to sneek in a 2 hour nap on Saturday afternoon.
{Easter prep is VERY exhuasting, no?!}
* We met my sister and nephew HERE for dinner Saturday night.
{Do they not have the BEST ‘Cactus Blossom’ EVER?!}
* Sunday we attended Churchey-church.
THIS song was sang as a duet and I swear I teared up through the entire thing.
SO powerful!
* Easter evening was spent over at Joe’s parents house with his entire family.
Fun was had by all and highlights included:
* Grant finding the GOLDEN egg aka the one filled with a $20 bill.
{SCORE!}
* Ham dinner with potatoes and all the fix-ins.
*The devotional Joe’s mom prepared for all us, based around the Savior.
* Strawberry shortcake for dessert.

One of my very favorite talks ever,
given on the Resurrection and Easter is from
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin called “Sunday Will Come”.

HAPPY EASTER!
One of my personal favorites as well. Sunday ALWAYS comes! I was privileged to know him and love him dearly.
I love this talk. Thank you for sharing!
Looks like a lot of fun 🙂
