Easter- Empty Nester Style

Everyone was posting their cute Easter pics so I thought I would join in. For the past several years we have hosted an Easter dinner for all the "roommates". It has been a lot of fun and keeps me in the Easter spirit when there are no little kids around. Well, this year Easter fell on the Sunday of the break between Winter and Spring semester, thus no "roommates" to even invite. On top of that Millie decided to spend her break with Mindy (hmm she did that last year too) and April went to Boise. So for the first time ever it was just Dave and me for Easter. It turned out to be a nice day and I enjoyed the quiet! President/Elder Clark visited our Ward's Sacrament Meeting and gave a beautiful Easter message. Our Sunday School and Relief Society classes were exceptionally good.
I was ambitious enough to hard boil some eggs so we could have some egg salad sandwiches for lunch (something only Dave and I enjoy). We had a delicious German pancake with Strawberries and sausage for dinner, how easy is that! But next Sunday Becca, Millie, April, and the kids will be here (maybe even my mom) so we will have a nice Easter dinner with all the trimmings a week late. I might even pick up some Easter candy on clearance so we can ruin our diets one more time!I did manage to dig out 2 Easter baskets. I couldn't resist a package of Peeps a couple of weeks ago. The plastic eggs are empty. And yes, the eggs are white, but at least they are hard boiled.

Pretty Idaho

When I got home from Jessica's Bridal shower I ran some errands with Dave and we stopped for some dinner. On our way home we could see this double rainbow towards our house. It was one of the most vibrant rainbows I have ever seen. The purple (or is it indigo) was so clear. I think it was because of the bright sunset behind us. I grabbed my camera as soon as we got home but it was starting to fade and you could barely see the second one. These were taken right from my front porch. Pretty impressive! What a lovely Easter gift!
