Easter was one of the most beautiful days that we've had all year. If we weren't in the church trying to soak up everything said at general conference we were outside trying to soak up the amazing weather.
Early Sunday morning we dressed in our Easter outfits and went to the Easter Bonnet Parade on 5th avenue.
New York's Easter bonnet parade gives the best evidence that Easter brings all types of people together:
1-The Classy Upper East Siders,
2-Families
3-The church-going women up in Harlem,
4-And the crazies.
We should be the poster children for this event because somehow or another, we seem to fit into all four categories.
1-The Classy Upper East Siders,
We took hundreds of pictures of hats and had a few taken of us too.

After parading around for a bit we ran across the park and made it to conference just before it started.
After the first session of conference, we raced up to Central Park
to meet up with Candice & Jordan Wheeler and Hank & Stacy Toone to play a little game of croquet.
but they did seem to make up once we started taking glamor shots in the flowers.
We call this "The Toones Shotgun wedding engagement photo"
After the photo session, we walked around the park and ran back up to church to catch the second Sunday session.
After conference we had a little visit from the Easter Bunny i.e. Melissa & Davis.

Davis was kind enough to wear the bunny ears all during dinner which added to our springy decor.
Happy Easter!

So glad that I finally found some fellow croqueters. Let's do it up, soon. PS, that last shot in your post is so great. Nicely done.
You guys look FANTASTIC. I could never in a million years get my husband to dress up for something like that. I'm sort of jealous.
When do I get to play croquet?? It's been too long since i have done that, but I feel like it's time. Sometimes, I really want to live your life for a week.
This is fabulous! I had no idea about the hat parade, but it looks like such fun! It's now added to my list of things I missed this year but will catch next year. You guys in your Easter outfits were a sight to behold, I love them and I love how you decorated your apartment. What is it like to be you guys, seriously?! It must be really really fun.
I'm so sad we missed it this year...I had to teach seminary BEFORE conference. We went last year for the first time and it was amazing. I think we saw that same older lady last year too, check out our photos.
Ok...#3...LOVe. and I totally would have taken your picture...people took MINE last year and all I was wearing was a red hat...it was so funny.
Hey Candice and Jordan were in our BYU ward when we were all single. Small world!
You guys have so much fun! Good for you!
