Easter was definitely a different day this year. Surprisingly, it fell on the same day as General Conference. We started a tradition with the Vincent family to get together on Conference Sunday for breakfast, but changed it up a little this year. Instead of the traditional "Ziploc omelets" I made Grandma Terry's Ham and Cheese Croissaints. I actually think they were a bigger hit than the omelets! We rushed off for Conference and breakfast in our jammies to Aunt Valerie's house and came back much later in the afternoon for our egg hunt. No surprise, it was freezing, so luckily it didn't last too long! Of course the girls cried over who got the most eggs, while Bode was content to listen to the rattle of just one and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out how to get the candy out!
No pictures of it, of course...but a funny Easter memory for this year. Bode has developed an obsession for Elmo! The girls never really cared for Sesame Street, but I guess Elmo is the male version of Dora since that was their big thing. So, the Easter bunny brought Bode a stuffed Elmo in his Easter basket (along with the Cadbury creme eggs seen here...a BIG HIT with the boy!!) As expected, Bode picked up and started walking just a few days before Easter. He was so thrilled with his Elmo that he refused to loosen his grip on the little red monster when he lost his footing and completely FACEPLANTED into the carpet. I tried (really hard) to hold back my motherly gasp and waited for the wail. Instead, he sat up, checked out Elmo and looked up to Steve and I with his big hazel eyes and said, "WOAH!!"
