Happy Easter!

For Easter, there were only two things I wanted. 1- A ham dinner. 2- To give Jason a little Easter Basket even though he wouldn't appreciate anything in it or understand what it was.

I got my wishes.

For dinner we invited over a few sets of friends who the day of had some plans change and weren't able to make it. So we quickly called up our neighbor Dianne and our old neighbors and still best friends Josh and Candy, and the were able to come last minute. We all enjoyed ham, cheesy potatoes, green beans, carrots, rolls and that amazing jello with strawberries and a pretzel crust and whipped/cream cheese on it thing for dessert. I made all the dishes, and was pleased with them all. We were munching on left over ham for the entire week following. I definitely got my ham fix.

As for Jason's Easter basket, it included a thing of bubbles (which intrigue him, but we're not sure if he enjoys them yet or not), a Blue's Clues shapes and colors DVD, a new teething ring (you can never have too many different types with this kid) and a little wind up bunny toy that was broken from the get go. You wind it up and put int on the table, and it just sits there. It'll only walk forward a little bit at a time if you nudge it each time. Oh well. Dollar section of Target - proof that you get what you pay for. But it was a good Easter with family and friends. And we were even able to give Dianne a copy of "Finding Faith in Christ" and talk about the Atonement. That was a special moment of the day for me.

I hope you all had a good Easter and that the love of Christ and the hope and promise of the Resurrection fill your lives every day.
