so it was easter

mady doll
daddys girls
lonely mom
mady shirley curls
and we woke up to a chocolate candy breakfast.
headed for church (some of us a half hour late,) after spending way too much time getting ready for sunday dinner and not enough time getting ready for church. the irony is that i missed the sacrament on the day i sent homemade bread for it, because the bread always tastes like laundry soap and i cringe to eat it and the one sunday it didn't i missed it. of course this all comes second to missing the symbolism of the sacrament on Easter. and christian even blessed it. better luck next year.

madelyn looked a picture but once she got onstage to sing with the primary she offered but a scowlfest. upon returning to sit with the family she explained that she couldn't sing because her legs hurt. her legs didn't seem to hurt much the rest of the afternoon hunting for eggs and playing with her cousins. better luck next year.

we tried for the requisite family picture. the self timer and trampoline did not make a good combo. this is definitely not the best family picture ever. better luck next year.
we spent the afternoon with our extended family and had a blast laughing and talking and eating until five hours in, when olivia smashed her hand in the door. she's alright.
we had a perfect easter and i wouldn't change a thing.
best fam pic ever lol
