"The most important and glorious "good news" is the message that the Lord Jesus Christ has restored His gospel and Church in the latter days."

I was up early to feed Tom and Sammy, thanks to Tom. Tom goes outside after he eats and wants back inside an hour or so later because it is cold and there is six inches of snow outside. 






I started the rolls early this morning, 24 of them. I had swelling in my face so I took a couple of Benadryl. A big mistake. I should have only taken one. I got really dizzy and had to lie down. I finally felt well enough to go start the Easter beans. 

It took me well over an hour to finish the beans and then I started to get ready to go to o the valley. James was working at his computer. 
It was 1:30 before we were ready to go. We had planned on leaving at noon because James is supposed to meet with Salvador at the burn house for a few minutes. I talked him in to going after our dinner, which he did. We left Tom inside the house. We were afraid if we left him outside Sammy would eat his food. James hired Easton Crane to feed the horses. I left Sammy and Tom plenty of food and a bowl full of water each.

We arrived at Darrel & Trina's at 4:15, two hours and forty-five minutes after leaving our house. Record time. Rowan helped carry our things in and then he had to leave for work. I plugged the beans in so they would get warm before everyone got here. Sheri was the next to arrive. She came by herself. Max and Evan had to work and Ben & Cayli weren't feeling well. Ian just didn't want to come. She says he forgot that this is their anniversary. Sheri brought a veggie tray. Max works at Winco and Evan works at Safeway.

Kim, Brian, and Paul were the next to arrive. Brian smoked some pulled pork and cooked chicken tenders in the air fryer. Kim brought a cinnamon cake, sugar cookies, rice crispy treats, and Cadbury egg cookies. Addy also made a carrot cake so we had plenty of desserts. 
Joshua stayed home to do homework. He works at George & Gather but he didn't work tonight. Darrel & Trina went to George & Gather the other night but didn't stay because there was a two hour wait. Paul told them that they need to make reservations.

James said the blessing on the food. I forgot to mention that Ruby made some of her delicious macaroni and cheese. We had pulled pork, chicken nuggets, rolls, calico beans, macaroni & cheese and veggies. Water to drink and lots of desserts to choose from.  After we started eating the doorbell rang. It was Michael. We were so happy to see him as none of the other boys came. Darrel got off work at six so he was over an hour late but he was here too. Stacy was at work and didn't get to come. She delivers for Amazon most of the late afternoon and into the evening.

After dinner we all sat around and visited. Addy loves working at Chandler Eyecare. We talked about Lola's upcoming dance recital and Sheri showed Lola that she knew some ballet moves. Sheri and the girls say they are starting a club. It is called the "Banshees." Yikes, what a name. 

Sheri said Betty, Ian's mom, is sad because her brother just passed away. He is the one who lives in Scotland and is in a wheel chair. 

Here are some pictures I took:

"best personality."

Kayla for her birthday.
