We started a new Easter tradition last year of having a family breakfast on the Saturday before Easter and holding our own Easter egg hunt. The city egg hunt is so barbaric! It's like vultures on a carcass! So we hold a nice friendly egg hunt for the kids and then have a great breakfast. Last year Sterling cooked made to order omelets and it almost killed him! We have too many people! It was nearly midnight when we finished - ha ha ha. This year we went with 4 types of breakfast casseroles and they were really delicious! It is really wonderful to spend time as a family and take time to celebrate the blessings of the Savior. Mom and Dad were in Idaho visiting Jason and Amber and their boys so we missed them but are glad they could go and spend time with Jason. Everyone else that missed all the fun - we hope you get your sorry butts out of bed next time and join in the fun! Ya big party
poopers! Thanks to Cynthia and Sterling for hosting yet again - they are so generous to open up their lovely big home to
accommodate our ever growing family!
I am very grateful for my Savior and all he has done for me - my life is very blessed! At this time of year, as new life is blossoming everywhere I am so thankful that we too can start fresh anytime we want to improve and do better. After the winter comes the spring - I stand all amazed! Happy Easter to all...

What a great idea, looks like you had a great time, where did you get those great glasses?
Thanks for sharing Easter Saturday on your blog. It was a day we would liked to have been in two places at once or better yet, all of my children & grans in the same place. Never the less, a very good time was had by all. Thanks for sharing Christine.
