Easter

The girls had a fun at the traditional Easter egg hunt and I had fun taking their pictures.

It is always such a thrill to see the girls faces when they find goodies in their Easter baskets. It was an extra treat to have a package from Grandma and Papa to open too.  100_6291100_6295100_6298100_6296100_6300100_6301

I was ambitious this year and made all the girls Easter Sunday outfits.  Kathleen, Burke’s Mom, helped me with Zana’s while she was visiting and I could not have made the rest without that help.  The girls loved wearing their special dresses, skirts and headbands while they hunted for eggs, played with their Easter toys and attended church.

We had our Texas family over for Easter Dinner and Burke smoked our first Beef Biscuit.  It was over 12 lbs.,  took eleven  hours and it was worth every minute!   If you thought a cooking  a Thanksgiving Turkey was complicated think again…

Prepare the Biscuit

Keep the fire burning and wood chips smoking so that the temperature in the smoker stays a consistent 225 degrees for eleven hours!!!!

Stay up well past bedtime to remove biscuit from smoker

We had a wonderful Easter and felt so blessed to be together as a family to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  He is the life and the way.  I am eternally grateful for his Atoning Sacrifice that grants me the gift of Eternal Life and the way to Exaltation.
