Easter!

Well, I always hate to put up a new post before anyone comments on the previous one, just because I worry that nobody will get to see the previous post. So if you haven't seen the previous post about the kitchen remodel, go check it out. I'll probably post a new one in a few days (it's going to need at least a few parts.
 
So this one is just to show off Easter. We went Friday night to the chapel to die easter eggs with the Gailey's - they're friends in the ward who work at my clinic. Fun and pizza were had by all:




Saturday was spent between shopping for easter, getting household to-do's done (like any Saturday), and listening to Conference. Kristin went to go buy things for Easter baskets in the morning while I worked in the woodshop. It's a fun excuse to get the kids new Sunday outfits:

Sunday morning was of course fun to watch the kids all run around looking for Eggs, and especially watching the girls going and pointing eggs out for their little brothers to come and find.


All in all it was a wonderful, restful weekend spent together, listening to the words of the prophets. I was able to work on some cool things in the woodshop and feel accomplished. And it was finally warm enough that we could enjoy some time in the swing out on the porch.

The only thing notable that I got for Kristin was a copy of the new movie, Into the Woods. I'll have to admit a little bit of self-interest - Kristin has known the musical well since high school and she frequently listens to and sings it, and I've never seen it before. So last night we stayed up late and I got to see it for the first time. It was awesome, and I totally recommend it to anyone. Although part of me really wants now to go back and watch it four more times and pick it apart, because it's so full of meaning and symbolism.

Anyway, hopefully the next post won't be too long in coming.

  1. I'm glad you liked Into The Woods. Matt and I got a few good laughs when we saw it. I knew how it ended, but Matt was totally shocked that the wedding wasn't actually the happy ending.

  2. I'd never seen it before, but I knew it wouldn't end like that. It's way too rich with symbolism to end so simplistically. Life is much more complicated than the typical happy ending, and that's the story's central theme. :-)

  3. Karalee...don't give it away for those of us who haven't seen it.

    1. don't worry about that when you see it, actually. The wedding is barely half-way through it, so it's pretty obvious it's not the end or it would be a pretty short movie. ;-)
