We woke up Easter sunday after our first nights sleep in the new house. The fire place kept us warm at night, but it was not easy to sleep on a sheet and blanket. Even thought the carpet is plush, it does not make up for a mattress. Jeffrey was the only one to get a full nights rest.
We used the meeting house locator on LDS.org to find the ward we are supposed to attend. We met some very friendly people at church and are glad to see that this is a full ward with friendly members. While talking to a family in the hallway after the meetings we found ourselves invited to the Hunn home for Easter dinner with several other families.
On our way home from church Jeffrey crashed and we took the time to warm up our Easter ham which I later carved with my pocket knife. We ate it with corn and fruit punch on paper plates. When Jeffrey woke up we took him on a Easter egg hunt around the house to find the plastic candy filled eggs we had laid out around the house while he slept. It took him about three brightly colored eggs to be pointed out by an excited pair of parents for him to figure out fully what was happening, and then he was ready to go on the chase himself.
At the Hunn home we had an incredable meal that sent me back to the serving table for seconds. We met three other families from our new ward who were anxious to hear about our time and adventures in Germany which made us feel important and welcome.
