Today is Easter Sunday, and I miss coloring Easter eggs, buying Easter candy and making up pretty baskets, getting a new outfit, or not getting a new outfit and buying something new for you kids. I miss sitting down with my family and talking about the true meaning of Easter. I did make a batch of Easter sugar cookies this morning with the shapes of eggs, flowers, bunnies, and flower baskets. I think that Cory and Dad liked them along with the simple but nice dinner that I prepared. (I confess I ate 1 cookie.)
I wish that you three could have joined our choir for the Easter Sacrament Meeting...the women (all 4 of them) needed more volume, but they all did sound nice and the spirit was there in abundance. That is all that really matters.
Dad and I worked very hard on the bathroom yesterday. The shelving got built yesterday above the washer and the dryer. We replaced the tubing from the dryer to the vent outside after we dismantled the tubing, cleaned it, then reassembled it. After 20 plus years, there was a lot of lint in there! We attached a new hook, a new toilet paper holder, new garbage can, new white toilet seat, and dad will paint the shelves tomorrow. and then all that is left is for me to make a window curtain. It looks so incredibly nice. I just walk in there and say..."Ahhhh."
I love you all so much. I am overwhelmed, really, with the love that our Savior has for us. I am filled with gratitude for his love, mercy, and the atonement.
We didn't have a musical number on Easter Sunday. A little disappointing. I was thinking about what Easters were like at home and they were truly nice. :)
