Annette:

- Enjoying cooking/cleaning/nesting...
- I decided that Easter needs to be a bigger holiday like Christmas or the 4th of July. I am not talking about the candy part being bigger, I am talking about the meaning and reason being more announced. It seems as though everyone says, "Remember Easter is about the atonement and resurrection of Christ, not candy. Here is some candy." The purpose of Easter seems to only be talked about in church on that one Sunday. I have decided that in our family, Easter will be specifically talked about each day of the week proceeding Easter Sunday. I am not sure how I am going to do this, but its going to happen.
- Preparing for Spring semester by reading the textbook.
- Made a neat FHE power point lesson about the Law of Moses, the law given on our day and trying to become perfect
- Looking for the last few baby items needed before the little boy comes.
- Has lots of crazy dreams about giving birth and being with my baby, I am super excited!
- I can't wait to be a Mommy!

Three things: First, try reading Baby Wise cause it is awesome. Second, your gun cake is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Third, someone was just telling me today about a book they bought at deseret book that has lots of Christ centered Easter activities to do leading up to the Easter Sunday. She said she loves it and it has great ideas. I don't know what it's called, but I'm sure you can find it or something similar. Good luck!
