Easter Weekend

Well, besides the COLD weather, we had a great Easter. We kept thinking we wanted to go somewhere for the Easter weekend, but because of the weather, we just couldn't get excited to do anything. We ended up staying home and had a blast!

Our Easter Bunny comes on Saturday morning, so when the boys woke up, the Easter Bunny had hid all their eggs and their baskets. The boys didn't waste any time finding their eggs they had colored and then they had to find their baskets. This is a fun tradition that Todd's family did when he was a little boy so we have done it with our boys and they love it. It is crazy that they can remember where the Easter Bunny has hid their baskets all the previous years. I forgot to take a picture of the boys together with their baskets, so I only have pictures of them individually finding their baskets.
With lots and lots of help from Jaygen, Briggs found his basket hidden behind the chair in the livingroom...what are big brothers for!! :)Pace found his basket in the bathroom behind the shower curtain. He found it all on his own, but on accident...it was way funny!
Jaygen finally found his in the dryer after getting a little help. He had told us that since he is 5 years old the Easter Bunny was going to hide his in a tough place. After he couldn't find it FOREVER, I think he had changed his mind and wanted the Easter Bunny to find an easier spot. Sorry Jaygen, that is the fun of it!!! :)

Then we loaded up and headed to the Delta City egg hunt. You can tell how cold it was. The boys had to be bundled up, but they got some good treats. Don't ever be late, because trust me, it is a quick event. We were all done and back home in 10 minutes!!

The grandkids all love grandpa Marshall!! Pace climbed up on grandpa's lap and had a little rest while we waited for Mel and Josh and their kids to come. How precious!!

Well I have some more really cute pictures to post (especially of grandma and Briggs) but I am having a hard time posting them, and I am sick of trying, so no more pictures.:(

We had an indoor picnic with grandma's yummy potato salad (it is requested every year by Todd), then did an egg hunt outside with all the cousins. They had a fun time. My boys had such a fun time playing with Braylee and Ty. I am glad they all came for Easter! Then what a better way to end the day than to have a Delta famous 10 cent hotdog for dinner!!?? We only had to stand in line for a few minutes this year, unlike last year when grandma stood in line for THREE HOURS...no joke!! We had a great Easter weekend even though it was freezing cold!!

Michelle, I love your Easter fun! I was having trouble posting pictures for a while and I finally had to change which internet server I was going through. I usually use firefox and I had to change to internet explorer. Maybe that will help!

What a fun Easter. It does look really cold with the boys all bundled up in their coats. I really don't like it when it is that cold in April! 10 cent hot dogs huh? Seriously?

Looks like fun! Gotta love the great Easter weekend weather we seem to get every year! And how about those hot dogs, what we won't do for a cheap dinner!
