I hate to post over the great posts already here, but. . .
Just so you know we had a great Easter Time. Brazileiros did not know anything about coloring eggs. We bought about 80 eggs, vinegar, food coloring, and brought the supplies to the office and at 5:00 showed them all how to do it, so they could do it with their families. It was a blast- because we saved them all, and hid them all down the corridor and in the rooms the next day and let them find them. So fun. Everyone got in on the act,especially the decorating with crayon names and bunnies which I drew for them. I doñ´t have pictures of everyone. Most of the eggs were taken home by them. We got to eat 4 of them.
And, that same day, we had a Pascoa (easter) dinner. They served chicken stroganoff with rice. They all thought it was the greatest dinner, but really, it didn´t taste at all like stroganoff we know. And they love to put shoestring potatoes on almost everything. But we ate it. The best was the Easter Bunny that came and distributed chocolate for everyone, through a drawing. I won the largest shoebox full of chocolate candy- which disappeared to all the 4th floor employees. We didn´t want to take that home.

How Fun mom and dad! I think it's neat that you guys bring a little of the "US" to them! Sounds like fun! Any by the way mom, I love your neckless and bracelet! I want one too! It looks cute on you
...and I just saw you have earings to match! I love it all!
Looks to me like you're gettin too close to that bunny pops. Isn't there something in the little white handbook about 2 armed hugs to fictional characters. I thinks mom read the book cause she has her right arm clearly in the correct position. I think you should have told those brazilians that the tradition was to boil all the eggs except one, color them all and then stand in a circle, each pick out an egg and break it on the head of the person to the right and then whoever gets the non-boiled egg broke on their head and running down their face you get to say the "yokes on you"!
David!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enlarged the picture of Grandma and the Easter Bunny so we could see the necklace and earrings Karina was talking about. But we saw more than we bargained for........it appears the Easter Bunny has a hole in his pants! Jamie saw it first and laughed hysterically!! Now I know you are all going to check it out, too.
Hey-- What's everyone doin' for FHE tonight?
Jessica is on FHE tonight. She wanted to do a modesty lesson. I was thrilled that she volunteered in the first place. She cut out all kinds of pictures and even lead a dicussion. THe best part was that it only lasted about 15 minutes - TOTAL! Then it was time to BRING ON THE DESSERT! ice cream sandwiches....uuummmmm!!!

Nice hole in the pants! Good job mom and dad for bringing down the real traditions. That'll be a time they will never forget.
Jana,
Even bunny wabbits have to use the facilities every now and then...think of the kidney prollems they'd have if they never went #1...
Mom and Dad, you guys are SO cute and still know how to bring tradition along. Now go teach them "I..love..a wabbit, a cwazy cwazy wabbit..chew chew, bunny bunny, chew chew, bunny bunny..
Dad have you learned any new Como poche peche vivir songs (or how ever you spelll it)?
And Eric was on FHE tonight. We learned about "lift" and why you can't steer into a burned out Engine. He was telling us a story he read from Super Sonic Saints. Funny kid... and 15 minutes also!!
Well, our "calendaring" took about 15 minutes (stuff like choir and orchestra festivals, track meet, Temple night, cub scouts, mutual, Jay's whereabouts this week, etc.) and after that, Eli was so done and silly that our discussion on the "buzzer-rection" of Jesus, as he referred to it, making us all laugh, ended up to be only 3 minutes long and we were lucky that nobody laughed during the closing prayer!!
So......did any of you realize that when we are resurrected we will not have blood in our bodies? I did NOT know that. It's in the Bible dictionary. Go read.
P.S. Jessica and Eric, good job on your lessons! I would have loved to have been there!
No blood? woohoo - no scraped knees that bleed profusely, no bumped foreheads on dad that bleed. No one will be able to prick fingers to test the sugar content of their blood. Or is that a bygone thing also.
Yeah, the scriptures refer to resurrected beings having a body of flesh and bone, and mortal beings a body of flesh and blood.
Hey, i was going to post yesterday that the bunny was having a "wardrobe malfunction", but didn't know if ya'll would think it inappropriate, so i didn't. Looks like you were thinking that anyway!
David, I love your "yoke's on you" joke. Way funny. ---scott
