Easter Weekend

Saturday morning I woke up Sariah and Bekah to go on an Easter Egg hunt at a local grocery store. Waking them up was so cute, they were sleeping in the same bed (they sleep together most nights now). I decided to open the door and pull their blinds up to have them wake up on their own but half an hour later they were still sound a sleep. I then said its time to go bye-bye’s and Sariah said “Mom! I’m trying to wake up!”. I left and came back 10 minutes later and said “who want’s to get chocolate eggs?” Sariah sat up quickly and then leaned over and gently stroked Bekah’s hair and said “its time to wake up and get chocolate eggs”. I love how motherly she is to her little sister!
Sariah and Bekah had fun at the event. They had different aisles for different age groups. Bekah wanted to stay with Sariah so they both went to the 3-5 age group. They had candy sprawled around the aisle and the kids went crazy picking up the candy. Sariah and Bekah brought little purses for their candy. The candy didn’t last long and they were hyper all day. If sugar made adults as hyper as it makes kids the adults would probably lose weight fast.
We then spent Saturday and Sunday watching General Conference which was as wonderful as always. They talked a lot of about families, parenting and how wonderful womanhood is. Elder M. Russell Ballard’s talk especially increased my gratitude of raising daughters.
