It’s that time of year

I’m rather surprised at the way Easter has become almost a totally different holiday since living in Ukraine.

I’m listening to this song while making this year’s pysanky:

 

I was asked to teach the Relief Society members of my ward how to do Pysanky, and as a result I have been learning all kinds of new things about the craft. Go on the Wikipedia page to found out some of the cool legends surrounding this traditional art.

I’ll be posting pictures soon! Meanwhile, have a great Conference Weekend! Now that we have the internet, you have no excuse not to watch it!

Sippy Cup

Pippa and her pink cup!

PI DAY!!!!

Not to make you jealous…

But had a total of 13 Pies last night!!

SUGAR OVERLOAD!!!

After baking pies all day I was barely able to restrain myself from digging my hands into one and eating it with abandon. Pippa could hardly wait either…
