For Easter Weekend, we decided to go to my mom's house. My uncle Donnie has been in ICU and in very bad condition. Sad to say, I was planning to see him, because I thought it would be the last time. So we left here Friday at 5pm and headed to never never land. We were all excited to go see Nana and Papa Bill and to get away from the packing and organizing at home. When we got there, Nana sent the girls on a scavenger hunt for their easter present. (an electric pencil sharpener)...wierd, but they love it and wanted one really bad. :) We planned on going to the hospital on Saturday during visiting hours and then having lunch with Aunt Bye after. Some of Donnie's relatives were in town (Gary, Elaine, cant remember other two names...darn it) Anyhow, we had lunch at whataburger, and then got a few things and headed home. Bill and Nelson went to Priesthood, and mom and I colored eggs with the girls, made dinner, and watched the latest Harry Potter (since my mom hadnt seen it). Then we had to get to bed so the Easter Bunny could come! Yes, he still comes even way out in the boonies of Broaddus, Texas! :)
The girls woke up and were so excited to see their baskets. (yes they used their halloween buckets...maybe we will get easter ones next year!) They got lots of fun stuff and found all their eggs..Ryder even enjoyed his basket and had a good time!
We watched the first session of conference, which was fantastic, and then had a yummy lunch before heading home to face the organizational mess again!
We had a great weekend and enjoyed our visit. It is fun to live near Nana and Bill and spend holidays with them.
On a side note, Donnie, who was on a life support machine when I visited....has miraculously improved and is now in a regular hospital room.
Just goes to show, Heavenly Father is in charge and His will be done. Most Importantly He loves us and sent His son to die for us. The glory of it is not in His death, but in His resurrection. I know He lives! It makes my heart smile and sing with joy. Happy Easter.
Love to all.
