It’s that time of year again! Time to bore readers with holiday traditions like dying eggs. If you aren’t directly related, you might want to skip this post. just sayin’…

Don’t you love the ‘do? We had Stake Conference on Sunday. Like any other Sunday, there comes a time when Eleanor doesn’t care about anything except letting you know she’s missed her nap…The last hour of the conference was a rough one, but that didn’t squelsh the excitement of hearing L. Tom Perry speak or having the opportunity to shake his hand afterward. Easter-Awesomeness!!

We tried to pad Eleanor’s easter basket with healthier options. What the?! This isn’t candy! Normally bananas are my favorite, but not today! Pblbleh! How dare you trick me!

So you’re trying to keep me healthy on Easter, eh? I’ll show you what I think about that idea…go long! No really long! Like on the next continent long. See ya!
