Easter Weekend

Easter is my favorite holiday.  To me it is the holiday of hope and I just can't keep from feeling happy all day.
I especially love Easter when it falls on General Conference Weekend.
General Conference always reminds me of what is really important and what my focus needs to be on.
It was most definitely a delicious spiritual feast, one that I left very full with the Spirit.
An added highlight to our weekend was Andrew, Michelle, little Drew, and Rachael coming up from UT to visit.
We got quite a few family shots, by our new family photographer-Andrew.

Mesa AZ Temple Easter Pageant

A few of us also went to the Easter Pageant and got the best seats ever.  Fourth row.  Summer, Rachael, Joshua and I went 4 hours early to get seats.  However, we soon found out you couldn't save seats.  I called Andy to bring down the rest of my crew and then everyone else got there as they could.  Luckily no one asked if they could sit where we were sitting so we technically didn't save any seats.  It was worth it getting there so early.  The kids loved the performance on the life of Christ and we could see everything..  It was a little chilly for AZ in April.
