We had our traditional Easter party on Sat. April 4th. Everyone gathered together at our house at about 3:00. We started with a barbeque of hamburgers, hotdogs and lots of salads. Everyone ate till they were stuffed. Then the kids gathered together and started their annual Easter egg hunt. There were lots of eggs to be found. We started Maddy and Tyler first on the hunt. A few minutes later Evan and Mark went out to find eggs. Then the rest of the bigger kids went out to find their eggs. They all had a fun time. After they counted their eggs and goodies they then went to break the pinata. This year instead of hunting for the pinata, they broke it first and there was just a few things in it, and a clue. Jamie and Shane had set up a treasure hunt using the coordinates off of a compass. The pinata this year was Mickey Mouse. He turned out pretty darn cute, even if I do say so. We were so glad that we did the party on Sat. (which we would have done anyway) because we had better weather on Sat. than we did on Sun. It was cold and windy, but at least it was dry. We woke up on Sunday morning to snow. I have a couple of pictures below as to the before and after. On Sunday we all got together again and had our General Conference dinner and tried to listen to the Sunday afternoon session. Again, we all ate too much, but had a super time being together and holding baby Benjamin, which we all fought over. Thelma came and stayed with Gary and I for the weekend. It was nice to have her at our place, but she was probably very overwhelmed with all the kids for both days. I hope she got some rest. She waits and serves everyone all the time and it was her time to relax, but with all the kids I don't know if that happened.
This is how nice things looked on Sat. Green, clear, windy and cold, but snow cleared away
Now here is the very next day. Woke up to a good couple inches of snow.
Glad we had our party the day before.
Easter bunny cupcakes that Lorrie made. She is so creative.
