Happy Easter

What a nice weekend we had! On March 22 we celebrated Jamey's 35th birthday....even though he is in Philadelphia we had a chance to chat with him and Becky and the boys. Who'd of thought we would have a kid that old??? What a great family they have and what great things they are doing. It was fun to see Tom the day before his 57th and see the Bagley's line up to have Megan cut their hair. And then a beautiful Easter Sunday. We started out with Whitney and I giving a lesson in YW's. The two of us are in charge of doing a tree for the Festival of Trees next November. Our YW president is using the theme of "being prepared" and the parable of the 10 virgins for this year and that is the theme we will decorate the tree around. So for the lesson I told the story of the Ten Virgins...then Whitney described her vision of the tree...all old and Jeruselemy with lanterns catching the light and bright scarflike garlands going in and out of the branches. She talked about the sights she had seen in Turkey last summer with Jolyn & Company, and really made you see her vision of the tree and of course the girls all fell in love with her. It will be a neat experience for us. On to SS and then Church where of course our beautiful Choir sang. Only the Tab Choir can sing better than our Ward Choir! We had a nice Easter dinner with Abby, Mike and Jake, Nick, Whitney, Tyler and his friend Melanie, Jim and myself. Ham, funeral potatoes, asparagus, rolls, salad, Abby's delicious lemon bars and of course some Easter chocolate. It all tasted great! It was a wonderful day and I hope you all had as nice a day as we did!
