Easter and General Conference Weekend

Easter weekend and Conference weekend together just about knocked me out. We have so many traditions for each event and trying to tie them all together was a lot of work. However, we managed to thoroughly enjoy ourselves.

Saturday we made lasagna dinners (see post below), dyed eggs, made hot cross buns, watched conference and did a little home maintenance.

Sunday the Easter Bunny came early, Ron went to Bishopric meeting and then we had a huge buffet for Conference, watched Conference, and then had Grandma and Grandpa Carpenter over for a large Easter feast. It was a wonderful weekend! I enjoyed the fact that a lot of the conference talks were aimed at the youth and parents. It is so wonderful to be able to listen, learn and apply the things taught in the Conference and then watch things begin to fall into place as we obey wise counsel.

How special it was to listen to the many hymns about Christ performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, on Easter. It made the day even more special to be able to focus on the life of Christ, his Resurrection and to know how much he loves us and is there for us.

I placed a link under the words General Conference (above) if any of you may be interested in what I am referring to.
