Egg Bash and Egg Hunt

In sacrament meeting today Janika sang a beautiful rendition of "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" with a quartet of two boys and two girls.  They sang it in the hearing ward and also the Deaf Branch (and I signed it).  After church  we came home and had a huge Easter dinner -- ham, cheesy potatoes, candied yams, various vegetables, and salad.  It was SO delicious!! Then the kids had fun making forts and we continued on with the Easter activities.

Since we had to miss both extended family Easter parties (yesterday and today), Grandma Jensen sent down two grocery bags with candy-filled eggs for our kids to have a hunt with.  So they got two Easter Egg hunts. We finished just before the rain hit.  Thanks Grandma!  Our kids also had their own Easter Egg Bash here (another Jensen tradition -- the kids take turns rolling hard boiled eggs towards each other and whoever has the egg that cracks is out) and Janelle won.  So Janelle called to see if someone could represent her and her egg at Jensen Easter Egg bash up north.  They put her on the phone during the contest and she won!  So she gets to have her name added on to the infamous Easter trophy and keep it for a whole year until next Easter.  She is pretty excited!
