Easter was perfect. Part of the perfection was that General Conference fell on the same day, and we celebrated the true meaning and the fun meaning of Easter on the same day. In snapshots, the day went like this:
On Easter Eve, the Easter Bunny filled these baskets up with some serious treasures. Then he hid them in tricky spots for the kids to find.
Scout found his at 8:00 on top of the piano. Sissy didn’t wake up until 10:30, when she found hers on top of a stool. (They will get trickier in years to come.) Then they went through their loot, and both found their favorite things. Scout’s was his gun and chap stick. Sissy’s was her Peep that she kept in her mouth for ten minutes and her carrot egg.
I made frittatas for our Conference watching (our protein heavy diet didn’t allow for coffee cake this year), and another to take to Megan’s house. They were a hit!
The kids in their Easter garb. Scout’s shirt was originally clean, until Nonnie let him have BBQ corn nuts, and he used his shirt as a napkin. Some classier moms would have changed him. I went “green”, and decided not to just dirty up one more thing.
My crazy sister Megan filled eggs during the second session of Conference. Have you ever seen this many eggs? It was over 400, and they didn’t just have a single candy in them. I am talking toys, money, candy….some serious loot. She is so out of my league in being the best party girl ever! She made it SO fun for all of the cousins.
This shot is during a huge earthquake (7.2 in northern Mexico). Here is Icka showing us some of her findings. Notice her ponytails. Chloe did her hair, and I thought it was darling. As a side note, I am SO jealous of their backyard. It is big, pretty thanks to B, and perfect for tons of kids.
Both kids prior to all of the kids going nuts. Micah is in the background behind Scout’s head….as he keeps watch over the hunt.
The cousins all spend as much time going through their eggs as finding them. Scout was really into it, and couldn’t bear the idea of going inside to use the restroom. So instead, he just headed over to some greenery.
When Booger came, we had a skying competition. He thought we were all weak, but I can see some air.
We ended the day with burgers. B did the BBQing, and did a mighty fine job. Nice work on getting out of your P.J.’s Tristen. That is a definite sign of a fat girl. How embarrassing.
HAPPY EASTER.
