Easter, Conference and Birthday Celebrations!

Such a fun couple of days! First of all General Conference was outstanding!
Here we are at Salsa Leedos for dinner before the Priesthood session! Steph's mom, Heidi joined us. Here's the birthday/Easter loot this morning before anyone got up! I got the most amazing gifts ever for my birthday this year. Most of my kids gave me this!! Something I've wanted ever since we got the Wii for Christmas! And I was totally amazed at this beautiful quilt that Jessica made!! The last quilt she made for her first boyfriend was a disaster and look at how beautiful this is! Wow!
So Jack bought Jess' Honda from us. He needs a car to take to Seattle with him.
So here's my biggest Birthday gift ever! A new Sienna van! I love it! We had another incredible dinner at Grandma's to top off the day! Here's Josh and Meg too full to move!

Here's the cake for the strawberry shortcake! (She also had berry pie and ice cream and Meg brought almond brownies). I got so many nice emails and messages on Facebook and phone calls! Thanks everyone! I feel very loved! Let's see when do all the stars align again for another triple header? Not for 11 years, I googled it! Easter will be on April 4th in 2021. The last one was 1999. Every 11 years?

  1. Glad you had a fun birthday. We love the wii fit plus! We use it everyday. Yep, Jessica is one of the most talented people I know. So a new van, got a road trip in mind? I want to know how you handle having those grandkids out of town? So far, I'm not doing so good at that!Thanks for posting and keeping us up-to-date on your family!

  5. Fun Birthday/Conference/Easter celebrations! You need to invent a name for the occasion -- for when it happens next time. Howabout Birferter? Eastbirthence? Coneastday? Happy Birferter!!!

  6. Manda, I'll try to think up an appropriate name. I should have years and years to come up with one.
