Happy Easter 

 I hope you all have had a wonderful Easter.  I was bemoaning the fact yesterday (to myself), that I didn't get the Easter lights, or Easter eggs on the tree on the front porch (still has the red and pink Valentine's Day lights on), nor did I get my Easter wreath hung (yep, still have the Valentine's Day sign up), and I didn't even get the Easter baskets down this year. The last couple of months have been a little crazy - But actually this has been a really great Easter day.  Yesterday, after conference, we went to the Easter Presentation set up by the North Stake. We went last year too, and it is just so amazing!  They have the cultural hall divided into each day of the Holy week - it almost looks like it is done professionally. It just really sets the tone for the real reason we celebrate Easter, and I am so glad we could go.  Today we watched conference, and the talks were all so good.  I am attaching a link here for the talk this morning by Sister Emily Belle Freeman. She talked about having good days and bad days - something we are all familiar with.Emily Belle Freeman. If you didn't get to hear it, take 8 minutes and watch it - 

What our Family Has Been Up to This Week 

  Hollie spent the weekend in Denver at a Culinary Competition and she was awarded a silver medal.  WAY TO GO HOLLY!

 I'm not sure what this is that she made, but it looks like it has chocolate in it, so I know it is delicious!  

 Gordon Ramsey would say, "Well Done, you're on your way to being the next Master Chief"! 😋

 Paul was invited to Prom this weekend - probably his last one!  He had a good time, and it looks like a cute date !

Time is going by so quickly, before we know it, he will be on his way to Vancouver, Washington ❤

 Sayre got to go to a friend's birthday party this week, finished up swim lessons, and is getting ready for another soccer season. 

Kate and Jonathan are on a mission to teach him to expand his taste buds.  Apparently, he only likes foods that are beige 😄. Kate said he ate a couple of bites of ham tonight, so that's a great place to start.
