A KENTUCKY EASTER SUNDAY AFTERNOON

We enjoyed a very nice, relaxing and special Easter Sunday this past weekend. As several other families in the Elizabethtown Ward enjoyed the company of their extended families - we too had that pleasure when Michael, Amber and Madi came down from Louisville and attended church with us. After church, the entire clan headed out to Penny's home in Glendale where the brood of grandkids (and some adults) participated in the traditional Easter Egg hunt. Penny's daughter, Linda and son-in-law, Wes - along with grandkids Amanda and David - had come down from Indiana for the weekend. Penny outdid herself with a wonderful and sumptuous Easter dinner that included ham; mashed potatoes; asparagus and cream cheese rolled in prosciutto; pasta; rolls and the obligatory (and equally delicious) green bean casserole prepared by Amber.

What was doubly nice about the long, four day weekend for me was that we also got to visit (over the phone) with the grandkids in Utah. Kayden called us on Saturday to thank us for his birthday and Easter presents. We had a great visit with him and with Cheniel. She is sooo ready to have that baby! On Easter morning, just as we were preparing for church, Lily called and left a voice mail thanking us for her birthday and Easter presents. We picked up just as she ended her message. We called right back and had a great talk with her and big brother Nick, who is also celebrating an April birthday. The Lehi gang, aka Tyler, Kim, Nick, Lily, Andrew and Max are making plans to be out here in late June or early July. Lynne's already making plans for Six Flags - Kentucky Kingdom, Mammoth Cave, Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, etc. Truth be told, she's just a big kid herself. . . especially when she's around her grandbaby, Madi.
