Happy Easter from Lambie
It was great to see President Monson on the stand!
Every time I looked over at James filling the Easter eggs, he was eating candy. I guess he had to make sure it was okay for the kids. We also put quite a bit of money in the eggs. The "golden egg" had $10 in it.
There was also 3 - $5 eggs. That's the way we get the older kids involved.
Jared and the girls got up early this morning and went to the Gilbert temple to do baptisms. On the way home Jared stopped at Filiberto's and got a burro. He got hot sauce all over his white shirt. Cathi volunteered to wash it for him. She was going to iron it too but I told her that was not necessary.
We took the food down to Sheri's a little before eleven. We kept the ham in the roaster so it would stay warm. Before eating, we had the Easter egg hunt.
Lola got a head start. Ben trying to figure out where the $10 egg is.
Is that the Easter bunny, (grandpa), looking for eggs?
Jared, Ruby, Max, Alex, and Adam.
Alex ended up finding the $10 egg. It was partially buried
in the rocks in the corner of the yard.
Joshua on the run, and Ian blowing off the patio.
Rowan found a $5 egg and so did Evan. We never did find the third one. Maybe the Trezise's will find it in the coming weeks.
Our meal consisted of the following: Ham, Easter beans, scalloped potatoes, cranberry celebration, Sheri's rolls, a delicious chicken salad that Trina made, and several delicious desserts that Kim made. She made sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, Martha Stewart bars, and Rice Krispy treats. Everything was delicious!
Jared's friend, Cami Burgi came by to say hello. We actually invited her. She was late because she was playing "nurse" to a friend.
This group was talking about politics.
This group was talking about Trina's new house and how she wishes she had a pool. Cami says pools are nice and she says she went to "pool school" to learn how to clean hers.
Addy was a part of this group. She is using the money she got from the egg hunt to donate to cancer patients. What a great girl she is.
We missed Darrel today. He had to work. Trina took him a plate of food. He loves my Easter beans.
Doesn't Trina look beautiful!
Is James listening to the conversation, or
staring at the candy?
The only thing that would have made our Easter gathering more enjoyable was if Jared's kids could have been here. I sure do miss them.
As I was taking my nap this afternoon I realized that I forgot to put the cheese in my scalloped potatoes. James said he thought they tasted different. Oh well, someone liked them because they all disappeared.
This afternoon I went home for a nap with James and then around 5:30 Sheri and I headed to Kim's to watch the women's session of the 186th General Conference of the Church.
My favorite speakers were Sister Marriott and President Eyring.
Sister Marriott also spoke at the United Nations this week.
Trina was going to stay home and watch the conference with Addy. Stacy said she was going to go to a movie when we invited her to come to Kim's with us.
We were encouraged to support the refugees in our area and to contribute to a new organization sponsored by the Relief Society, "I was a stranger and ye took me in."
