Easter Fun

Easter came so early this year. I don't think I'll ever fully understand how Easter is determined, but no matter-it was still a lot of fun for the girls and us.

We celebrated Easter a couple of different ways this year so that we could try and accomodate both families and still get to our church callings. On the Saturday before Easter we had a ward breakfast at the church. Not too bad-pancakes, ham, eggs, and juice or milk. The girls could've cared less about breakfast-they just wanted to run around the gym with all their friends.

Later that night, we ate dinner at my parents' house and had a mini easter egg hunt so the girls could have some fun outside since our house has nothing but dirt, dirt and dirt clods. I just had to make sure that Gus (my parents' sweet ottoman disguised as a dog) didn't eat any of the eggs. The girls had lots of fun hunting for the eggs and trying to beat Gus to them. My parents gave them bubbles and bubble blowers which turned out to be a huge hit for both of them. Thanks, Mom & Dad.

On Sunday, Haylie and Mikaela woke up to find the Easter Bunny had left them a couple of small presents and more eggs to hunt for. Haylie got Troy and Gabriella from High School Musical and Mikaela got a My Little Pony. They also got the movie Enchanted which we immediately had to watch twice before church! Yikes!

After all the fun and chaos of the morning and church, we headed to Eric's sister's house for dinner and more egg hunting. Unfortunately, Eric's brother and his wife and kids were unable to come and join the fun since they were sick. And Eric's dad got stuck working-boo! We missed them, but still had a fun time with the rest of the family! They also got some new shirts from Grandma Ginger and Grandpa Ernie-which they love-and some fun treats from Jodi and Alenna. Thanks everyone! We love you! Happy Easter everyone.
