We enjoyed a relaxing, inspirational weekend listening to Conference and enjoying a yummy Easter dinner.
There was a lot of this going on at our house - snuggling on the couch with a quilt!
I did make a big mistake though - I forgot how attached to tradition my children are - especially Tessa. I guess I ALWAYS make cinnamon rolls for General Conference.
Cali even continued the tradition at college this weekend and sent us a picture of her delicious looking cinnamon rolls she made! Very impressive.
Well, I didn't make cinnamon rolls and believe me I will never make that mistake again.
I did make some pretty yummy orange pancakes with orange syrup though!
But it just wasn't the same!
There was also a lot of this going on ....note taking
I loved all the talks and sessions but I think Saturday morning was my favorite. Way to go Julie Beck!! I also loved Elder Ballard's talk to the mothers and daughters. Can't wait to read them all again!
While Jim went to Priesthood meeting Tessa and I had a girl's night out with my friends Marsha and Chris (Chris is also our dentist!)
We pretended we were in NYC and went downtown to a fun Jewish Deli - Kenny & Zukes where Tessa and I split a yummy PLT - Pastrami, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich and some latkes! Yum!
Other Conference happenings....
Clark drove up to Idaho Falls Uncle David and family to watch conference and visit with Grandma and Grandpa Wilkes
Cali had tickets to the Saturday morning session and went up with some of her roommates. She watched the other sessions at home and then went to Wynn and Emily's for Easter dinner and the afternoon session.
Logan watched at home and then attended Priesthood with Mark, Randy and Ross Boothe. He also went to the Boothe's home in Spanish Fork for Sunday a.m. and then out to Wynn and Emily's for Sunday afternoon.
Love this cute picture of Logan and Addi taking in the afternoon session!!

Festival of Colors
Last weekend was the annual Festival of Colors at a Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah.
The Festival of Colors announces the beginning of Spring and a farewell to Winter.
It is a very colorful celebration as people are bathed in colorful powders. I don't quite understand the whole thing but Cali loves going. There are thousands of people who attend!

Cali went with her roommates and her friend Brittany Carson who was down from BYU- I
Here is their before pictures.
And their after photos!
Quite a colorful group - Cali and her roommates.
I really don't quite understand how the whole things works? Do you throw the colored powder at each other? Cali, please enlighten your mother!?
Legally Blonde
Just a few more photos from Tessa's Spring Break trip to Utah.
While there she was able to see two shows. Cali, Logan and Tessa went to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Hale Family Theater . It was fun to see Shayla in the show.
They also went to Salt Lake to see the Broadway show Legally Blonde. Cousins Eryn and Cecilia went with them!
The three cousins on the ride to Salt Lake (thanks to Logan for being the chaperone along with Cali!)
