No fancy dishes, as in the actual meal, nor in the presentation, yet lots of quality time spent on focusing on the true meaning of the holiday via Scriptures reading and Friend magazine activities (I LOVE LOVE LOVE that magazine, don't you?) And fun making our traditional Easter Bunny cake loaded with sugary frosting, sweetened coconut flakes, and fresh strawberries (yes, I somehow managed to squeeze those in there between the cake layers! Ha-ha!)
As always, Ella made a bunch of beautiful cards for us, her horseriding instructor, and her cook at school. Her love and appreciation of others is just wonderful. She also really enjoyed coloring eggs this year, and of course making (and eating) her Easter Bunny cake. She didn't get her Easter basket yet (well, she got the one mamaie and tataie asked that I put together for her in their behalf), but what I had actually ordered for her hasn't made it yet due to some address and then UPS sorting mix-up. But that's okay because my wonderful husband turned it into a really nice teaching moment when he asked Ella what was Easter all about, right when she was starting to feel dissapointed and somewhat frustrated because the "Bunny" didn't make it with her treats... .) I just love my Hrishi! He rocks on each and every single level! My "dry" Mormon boy! (That's how he recently (jokingly) referred to himself! ;))
Easter Sunday was so beautiful, weather-wise and spiritually too. It was loaded with testimony and Holy Spirit. We watched several featured clips on the Ressurection on lds.org before heading out to church. (I just love how powerful those are.)
We were back at Sienna Stables for Ella's horseriding lesson on Saturday. Ms. Lori introduced her to the English style this time and it looks like she's going to stick with it as opposed to the Western style. She loves obstacle/jump riding and according to Ms. Lori she did extremely well with English.
Her balance on the horse is just amazing. She rode with her arms up in the air, behind her back, her head, and turned side ways. TIt was really fun and exciting to watch her. I don't have close-ups of this as they were deep into the arena but I've got a video.
Ready, set, go! :-)

Learning the differences between Western and English in holding the reins, turning, etc.

(We made paper bunny ears and taped them to headbands. And went for a walk outside our apartment complex and to the nearby park wearing them!! )
A million dollar smile!
