Easter

JJ only had bishopric meeting Easter morning which was nice.  I wish they would have kept it earlier so he could have come home and gone to church with us.  Driving to and from church as a family is something I really miss.  He enjoyed not getting up so early and being able to eat breakfast with us.  I got the kids ready for church and we meet him there.   

 

 After church I came home and got working making food to take over to my parents house for Easter dinner.  When JJ came home we did an egg hunt for the kids in the backyard.  They were so excited to hunt for eggs.  Nolan especially was excited and we were happy to see that even Lucy was still excited to do the egg hunt. 

 

 

 

 

We headed over to my parents house for Easter dinner and to spend time with everyone.  We had a nice ham dinner and all the food was so good.  We all joked that we are all becoming such good cooks.  The weather was so beautiful the kids spent the whole day playing outside together.  The cousins are always excited to see each other.  We did an egg hunt with all the cousins.  We had Grandma and Grandpa show them an Easter video from LDS.org while a bunch of us helped hide the eggs.  They were cute sitting on the driveway together going through all their eggs eating candy. 

 

 My parents yard is so pretty with lots of trees blooming.  While my Dad was taking Jayne on a dirt bike ride Jayne commented how pretty everything was.  My Dad took us on a walk around the yard and pointed out all the pretty trees.  We called it a nature walk with Dad.

 I am so glad my sister Natalie and her family came in town for the weekend.  We had a fun time hanging out together and Lucy always loves to see all the girl cousins. 

 

 

 

 When it got dark we all came inside to dye Easter eggs.  The Wrights have a tradition to do an egg roll contest.  We all dyed eggs and Jenny came in and voted on her favorite dyed egg.  We then took turns rolling our eggs into each other.  If your egg cracks you loose and the winner goes on.  We had never played before but it was fun! Natalie's egg was the winner!  It was a really nice laid back day and we enjoyed the beautiful weather.  We were thankful Monday was a late start day at school so the kids could sleep in.
