We had a nice Easter weekend - sugar cookies, Easter eggs, Easter baskets, Saturday temple session, Saturday church brunch, singing with the choir and Sunday church service, family Easter brunch, and friend Easter dinner with song devotional.
Alex and I went to the temple on Saturday morning while the kids went to the church brunch. We got up early on Sunday morning to be at church by 8:30am to sing in the choir. Since we started early, I decided to do a family brunch after church. Church was only one hour for Easter Sunday, so it should have worked out pretty well. We got done at 11:00am. However... Alex's one meeting with an individual turned into meetings with other people, so he didn't get home until after 12:30pm. We still had a nice lunch. I made 72 rolls on Sunday afternoon for our friend Easter dinner. Everyone else brought the rest of the food. Our friends hosted and did all the pretty decorations. I think we had 29 people there. What started as a shared meal between 2 families for quite a few years has grown to a potluck meal with several families.
I created an Easter devotional a few years ago that has songs incorporated with the Easter story. We did that again, although I had to make some more copies of it. I re-did the song recordings as well, since my first versions were me playing the piano (with a few errors here and there). Now the church website has all the song accompaniments, so I just needed to download those and put them in order into a recording. It turned out better this year, and it was fun to have so many voices singing.
I sent a package to Jared and his missionary companion - snacks, candy, and a scripture Easter egg hunt.
