all dressed in our Easter best . . . . we wanted to wish you a very Happy Easter! We have had a great day. The Easter bunny visited us yesterday (maybe a post on that later) and today we enjoyed a nice day at church. Conner gave a talk in Primary about missionary work. We came home and I cooked up a storm -- seriously, 3 solid hours making stuff and washing dishes in the kitchen. But I was happy to do it. Ham, scalloped potatoes, deviled eggs, and these amazing rolls . . .

They are huge and so filling. We didn't even make it through one pan. Which is shocking because Scott is a lover of rolls. Maybe it's because he's feeling a little under the weather today.
After dinner it is tradition in our family to watch The Testaments. And keeping with tradition the kids ask lots of questions throughout and mom & dad cry like babies at the end. (This time I was smart and had Conner fetch me a tissue before it started.) It's a good movie. It reminds us of all that Jesus Christ taught, how he served and loved, and the sacrifice he bore for us. But more importantly it teaches that he arose from the tomb and that he lives again. We have hope and the promise of eternal life through Him.
John 3:16 -- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I hope that you have enjoyed a wonderful Easter Sunday as well.
