Our Saturday gathering

Everyone got her at 3:00 and we had prayer and then sat down for a traditional dinner of ham, potatoes, carrots, salad and rolls.  We visited for a while and then had the Easter Egg contest.  Emmi wins for the 4th time and gets to take the trophy home!  We also had a treasure hunt for the kids and then played some games before everyone had to leave.  It was a great day, great weather and lots of family love.  We miss those who couldn't come.  Lyndsy chose to spend the day with Ben's family.  We missed have her and River and Desmond with us.  Tucker and Jamie were in Texas visiting some friends and we certainly missed them.  It has been a long time since we've had Tucker's family here for Easter.
Some pictures of the day's celebration:  Neal had Andrew and Hayley help him plant the two big pots out by the swimming pool while we were waiting for the rest of the family to come.

 Abby made Easter bunny cupcakes with miniature M&M's in the middle and a chocolate bunny on top the cupcake.  We love them!  Thanks Abby for always being so creative.

 Of course, Greg changed our glass door to a screen.  It is that time of year again.  He is so good to always do that for us.  Thanks Greg.  It is nice to have the breeze come through the house.

 Annie kids made mine and Neal's Easter eggs for the contest.  You can already guess what Neal's was.

 Emmi made this egg.  I just about chose this one over the Y but stayed with the my original choice.

 Lynda Ann made this one of a whale.  You can't see, but she even has eyes on him.

 The contest begins.

 The final two people.  Emmi is the winner for 2017!  Her 4th time.

 Mindy, Maddie and Grayson came and Mindy brought me this tulips.  There are beautiful and I love them.  Thank you Mindy.  It was so good to have you spend some time with us.

I'm speaking in Sacrament meeting tomorrow at 9:00.  I will write about my talk tomorrow.  Mallory is also speaking so Neal and I are hoping we can get out to Stansbury in time to hear Mallory speak.  Their Sacrament Meeting begins at 11:00 a.m.  We should just make it.
