We had a completely wonderful weekend going to Disney on Ice, watching conference together, making goodies, preparing surprises, sharing and writing our testimonies, pondering the atonement, eating yummy food, and just plain being together (my favorite thing). It was a weekend I won't soon forget. Here are some highlights:
We rode the Light Rail into the U.S. Airways Center for Disney on Ice
This was SO FUN and a great way to not have to pay for parking!
Walking to our seats we passed a few of these and Natalie was fascinated with Jack
One happy little girl!
Part of the Grand Finale--what an amazing show! I was very impressed!
Too too cute
Natalie thankfully fell asleep on me during the 2nd act
Saturday morning we began our conference watching marathon. The local stations decided to take if off the air (old game show reruns were more important) so we gathered around our computer to watch via the internet. I love the look Natalie is giving David in this picture.
Cyrena was furiously taking notes during the sessions. Then we noticed she was writing, then pretending to dip her pen in some ink then writing again.....too funny.
That night we tie-dyed some eggs.
Everyone got involved
Really involved as you can see.
The next morning when the girls woke up, they found the eggs they'd dyed
Natalie was SO proud every time she found one!
Then they hunted for their baskets. Natalie's was in her favorite spot....the pantry!
And Cyrena's was in the curio cabinet in the entrywayWhat a tricky Easter Bunny
The rest of the day was spent having our traditional Easter breakfast- Goldenrod-watching conference, having a yummy Easter dinner with friends, playing, chatting, and setting goals. My heart is so full and for that I'm very grateful.

Wow! What a busy and very fun weekend. I bet Cyrena loved the Disney show. How fun that you guys did that.
This was our first time watching Conference on TV (we just got Direct TV) since we left Utah and it was so nice.
It sounds like you've kept most of the Easter traditions from your childhood, and I'm sure the girls enjoy them all.
PS- I'm anxious to see Natalie again. She was only a month old and sleeping last time. Will you be in Utah this summer? Well, you probably don't know much yet. I'll be there for Nick's wedding July 18-28. If you're there then we have to get together.
That sounds like such a perfect weekend! Thank goodness Conference is online now. I don't know what I would do if I had to pack my kids up and bring them to a Stake Center for 8 hours in 2 days, like we used to have to do as kids.
What a great weekend!! I figured they wouldn't play GC on cable here (although we have Dish so it didn't matter we just watched the BYU channel) but I didn't know that Cox wouldn't be showing it there either. I wonder why? Weird. The girls are cute & getting so big so fast! Tell Cyrena Dean that Sis Cowand says Hi!
Totally "righteous"!
I'm sending you some pictures, I recognized Natalie's outfit :)
Thanks for having us over it was both of our favorite part of the day.
Fun family traditions! It was nice having Easter on conference. Too bad they took it off the air- there are tons of LDS in that area!
Glad you liked the ice capades. We went to Disney on ice and thought it was pretty boring. I'm sure your girls were in heaven!
SO CUTE!! Could Cyrena forward her conference notes over? I would love her insight!! ;)
