The Easter bunny visited our house bright and early Easter morning. I don't think Bridgette properly appreciated the sun-flower adorned swimsuit that she received in her basket, but she joyfully shook and rattled the candy-filled plastic eggs.
By 8 a.m., we attired Bridgette in her lovely Easter dress - appropriately sunny and yellow - and rushed off to church. We had bought dainty white, lace shoes to complete Bridgette's ensemble, but she was having none of that. As observed by the young girl sitting in the pew in front of her at church, "Bridgette just won't where those shoes."Grandma got the pleasure/frustration of holding onto a happy and hyper Bridgette during church, because Kevin and I both sat in the stands. We both sang in the choir, but I got the extra assignment to give an Easter talk. Seriously - the mere Sunday before Easter I was asked to speak in church on "Teaching the Atonement to our Children." It's a lot of pressure to speak on Easter Sunday, when the chapel is packed. I later learned we had approximately 480 people in attendance, and I saw each one of them from the podium.
Fortunately, the talk went well (Incidentally, speaking is way easier than conducting music in primary!). And perhaps the best part of the day was seeing Bridgette in the church audience, bouncing on Grandma's lap with uncontrollable glee when she saw her parents speaking and singing from up high.
After church, Kevin and rushed to finished our deviled eggs - our assignment for Grandma's Easter dinner. They looked delicious with all the other fun food Grandma had on display at her house! She even had an adorable sheep cake. Too cute to eat.
The grandkids and cousins enjoyed a grand Easter Egg Hunt in Grandma's backyard! Though the kids struggled to wait for the hunt to being (some of the eggs weren't so much as hidden as they were lying in plain, tempting sight).
Hope your Easter was as egg-cellent as ours!
