Easter Festivites

Saturday we started the day off with an Easter Egg hunt at the City Park. There were SO many people there it was crazy. Luckily, our town does a pretty good job of spreading out tons of goods all over the grass for the kids.



I know this isn't the greatest picture but I have to put it on the blog for documentaional reasons! :) Last year Quinn was TERRIFIED of the Easter Bunny and would not even get close for a picture. This year however, as you can see, he didn't mind walking right up to the Bunny and standing right next to her for a picture. My little boy is growing up!


P.S. I have no idea who that little girl is on the right, WE were next in line for a picture, her Mom just shoved her in there and got the attention of the Bunny right as I was taking the picture, NICE! I hope she enjoys my kids in her picture as much as I enjoy hers in mine! :)

When we got home from the egg hunt that lasted all but 2 minutes, we colored our Easter eggs!

(For some unknown reason this picture of the kids dying their eggs is not showing up, just imagine it here instead!) :)

All done.


Testing the eggs. The verdict is.....Yummy!


Later that afternoon we headed up to good old Cache Valley to a little slice of heaven on earth called Mendon. :) (sappy but true!) My Mom and Dad had their annual Easter Egg hunt for the grandkids, we ate a delicious dinner with the fam, and then my Mom told the Easter story of Jesus.





And NO, I'm not due tomorrow, I still have about 6-8 weeks left thank you very much! :)

Easter morning! Avery was so excited to find her hidden basket from the Easter Bunny that she woke up at 6:45 am -- you'd think it was Christmas or something! :) We talked her into waiting until 7:30 when we woke Quinn up. (we have 9:00 church!)



Some sidewalk chalk and a kite to share.





Getting a cute picture where both my kids are looking AND smiling (a decent smile anyway) at the camera at the same time is nearly impossible! I did my best!




Here is our sorry attempt to get a family shot all together.....






Ugh! LOL! How pathetic! :)

Easter Sunday also happened to be my 29th birthday. Justin gave me the surprise of the century, I am SO EXCITED!!! He gave me tickets to see WICKED!!! WAHOO!! I actually started to cry when I opened the envelope, I was so surprised, I have been telling him for awhile how bad I wanted to see it! I CANNOT WAIT TO GO! After church he made me a yummy "made to order" lunch and then gave me a complimentary foot rub. Isn't he such a sweetheart? Thanks honey for making my birthday special, you're the BEST!

Later in the day we headed out to Mom and Dad Smith's house where they had another fun Easter egg hunt for the kids and then we ate a delicious Easter dinner. Yum-O! I didn't take my camera or you'd see more Easter egg hunt pictures! he he! :)

Phew, what a long post! But afterall, we did have a great Easter weekend!

P.S. For some reason the spell checker is acting up and I can't get it to work, dang it! So forgive me if anything is mis-spelled! :)
