Let my love open the door...



This is my new favorite movie clip. It is from Dan in Real Life. Which, for those of you who haven't seen it, is about an advice columnist with 3 daughters after his wife dies. He is really lonely at the beginning of the movie - and when he finally meets someone new it turns out that she is dating his brother.

Easter EGGstravaganza!








Easter has always been a very special holiday for me. It is such a great time to think about and focus on the Savior. But it is also a holiday that I used to share with my grandma, who I was really really close to. Every Easter I would spend the whole week with her. We would dye Easter eggs and make Easter sugar cookies. We would decorate her house and make dinner for our family Easter party. Then we would organize an Easter egg hunt for my brothers and cousins. I looked forward to it all year long.

This was our first Easter on our own, so Kenneth and I decided to have a traditional Easter celebration with our friends. First we colored Easter eggs with Chris and Robyn. Then we made my grandma's traditional Easter dinner - complete with homemade cream puffs- and had fun sharing it with our friends. It was so much fun! And, as much as we love being with family during holidays, it was so much fun to spend time together here with our Boston family!
