Easter!
I'll have to add pictures another time. We forgot the camera and took pictures with the phone - we don't know how to retrieve them yet.
We did have a good time today though. We visited Nate's brother and his family - hence the pictures to come. And we were able to watch conference with them. Early this morning, we watched the sun rise (though, really it was cloudy and we didn't really see the sun until an hour afterward); the kids are not old enough to think singing an Easter hymn together, outside on the deck-in the cold-with no sun-is cheesy. So, we sung a children's hymn and talked about why we were out trying see the sun rise and talked about symbols that nature has that remind us of Easter: the sun rising each day, spring coming after winter, etc. It was good.
After we finished up out there, I happened to be reading and found this quote by President Kimball: "And as the living, verdant spring follows the dismal, deathlike winter, all nature proclaims the divinity of the risen Lord, that He was Creator, that He is the Savior of the world, that He is the very Son of God."
