Easter Weekend

Saturday:


We had a Primary Easter Egg Hunt at Sheryl and Jason's house. It is ideal for a large egg hunt. They have a huge yard and own the lot next to them. The entire neighborhood got involved though. Their next door neighbor provided the hot dogs(he even grilled them for us) and we used the houses across the street for the little kids to hunt(it is safer to keep them separate from the big kids). We blocked off the road so we wouldn't have traffic issues. It was a blast. There were tons of eggs, the weather was perfect, and many people to share in the fun. We appreciate Sheryl and her family for putting together a fun party.

Cailyn obviously did a great job finding eggs, her basket it full. Such a little scavenger!
Jessica had a good time out in the sunshine that day also. She loves to just watch other children, so she was in Jessica Heaven!

Sunday:

Jason did not have meetings in the morning so I recruited him for help in the kitchen. I was rolling out the rolls and he made some muffins for breakfast. We had a friend riding with us to church and he came over for breakfast. There was a mishap with the recipe and they didn't exactly turn out, so we all ate 'not quite perfect' muffins. They filled our tummies enough to last through church, so they did the job. After church we headed to the Bishop's office for Cailyn to pass off her first Article of Faith(and then retrieve some candy, of course). She did a fabulous job. Once again, we are so proud! Then we piled into the van to eat at the Smiley's house for dinner. This couple is the only other couple in the Ward that doesn't have family within 20 miles of them. So, naturally, we bonded instantly. They kindly invited us to dinner and it was delicious. She made this amazing Lemon-Herb Chicken, with baked potatoes, steamed veggies, salad, and a gorgeous berry cake. All from scratch. I am impressed. We brought rolls and a pie. When all was said and done, we had been gone from our house for 10 hours straight. Jessica had only slept a little over an hour collectively all day and was more than cranky, and Cailyn was having a hard time eating her veggies, but over all it was a perfect Easter. I am sorry to report we didn't get many pictures, but this is what we did get.

It was Jessica's first Easter. Isn't she adorable?

HAPPY EASTER!
