Happy Easter!

Okay, so I'm a little late, but I have some lame excuses. :) My biggest one is that I've caught a cold....I blame it on Reid. He had it last week and now I'm down with it. I hope it's the last one of the season because we've definitely seen our share of them this winter.

So, back to Easter. We had a good Sunday service and I enjoyed the talks centered on the Atonement very much, even if the speakers did give my Sunday School lesson. Good thing I teach 14 year-olds who don't listen to sacrament!! After church I was busy preparing our first big Jones' family holiday dinner. We had the Elders over for Easter dinner and enjoyed a yummy ham, funeral potatoes, bean salad, and angel food cake with pineapple. It turned out very well and the even the dishes didn't seem so bad after such a fabulous meal. We didn't dress Kai up as I figured he wouldn't even notice the difference. Actually, it seems that Easter clothes isn't a big deal out here. I only saw a handful of girls with "Easter" dresses at church. The rest of us were in our normal Colorado winter attire--and good thing too because it snowed!!

Since Sunday, the snow has melted and the sun is coming out. Kai and I just got back in from a nice walk down the Santa Fe trail with a friend. Kai was even covered in sunscreen! Despite the fact that I still have no idea what to expect, we're really starting like to Colorado. What a beautiful day, both Sunday and today.
