Lovely Easter Weekend

Hola!

We had a lovely Easter 2 days ago--it is truly one of my favorite weekends!  Even in Massachusetts, the flowers are starting to bloom.  We have bright yellow forsythias (sp?) all over the neighborhood.  One friend told me they are "easy" to cut and start another bush growing.  I may ask my neighbor for a cutting of hers.  They brighten up the whole neighborhood!

Saturday night was a special Easter musical presentation at the church.  Such talent we have in our church congregations.  These people came from different cities close to Boston.  Vocalists, violinists, pianists.  It was all very uplifting and joyful.

Then Sunday, before church, we went through the scriptures telling events of the last week of Christ's life, leading up to his atonement for us, his crucifixion, and his resurrection.  For the Easter program in our Sacrament Meeting, Teresa, Kara & I participated in the choir as we sang between scripture readings and inspirational talks.  We are so blessed.  What a great day!


Secondary of course, was waking up to the kids' traditional "Easter baskets."  Chocolate bunnies and other Easter candy.  Kara brought out Max, who is the World's Most Patient Bunny.  She posed him next to Easter eggs and had him on her lap, etc.  He just sat there for the photos!  I can't believe him.

(My "spring resolution" goal is to blog more frequent updates. They may be shorter.  But more frequent.)  Have a good week!  Kari
