Easter

Our Easter week/weekend was great! There were a million different Easter egg hunts going on around utah county. Need I remind you that utah county also has millions of people. Therefore we enjoyed relaxing at home and having our own Easter egg hunt in the backyard with just us!

My parents were staying in Salt Lake City since Hunter was on spring break. So Saturday they decided to head down our way and enjoy the holiday with us. We decided to do a big Easter dinner on Saturday (instead of Sunday) so that we could enjoy all of the left overs on Sunday as well. Saturday morning I was busy making devils eggs, rolls, cheesy potatoes, salad, carrot cake, etc. Then that afternoon when the kids awoke from nap/quiet time Easter eggs were hidden throughout the house and the yard.

Ian was going crazy finding as many Easter eggs as possible. It was really a struggle for him to leave some for Aaron as well. Aaron was happy just fining one. He could have just played with the jelly beans for hours in the grass.

That evening we enjoyed Easter dinner which turned out great! In fact the only thing left was a little bit of ham. Which meant so much for leftovers on Sunday. We then headed down to discovery park in Pleasant Grove. The kids had a blast running around and hiding. Not to mention it was so much easier to go to that park with more adults than children. I always go crazy when I go with just the boys. There are so many little hideouts you blink and it seems one of them has disappeared.

After coming home the kids definitely needed a bath. Then Tim and I then headed out on a date! Thanks to my family for watching the kids -although I really would have rather stayed home! The movie was horrible -sorry not a fan of The Hunger Games. To each their own I guess.

The next morning we woke up (more like we did not go to sleep because of Ian's nightmares) and the Easter bunnies had been hoping all over the house. The bunnies tend to get yarn stuck to their feet, which they string about the house. Ian loved following his yarn all around to find presents that the Easter bunny had left for him. Aaron found the first present (crazy straws) and content with just that. The Easter bunny also brought extra large bouncy balls, sunday clothes, movie, beach toys, Blue Angel's kite, and more. Not to mention Ian got a much needed new swimsuit from Grandma and Grandpa along with special detective flashlights. Aaron has also figured out how to climb the bistro chairs. It is the most annoying thing in the world. He is obsessed. I tried doing what our friend does when her boys climb the chairs -having them already tipped over. Then Aaron just tries to tip them back up and usually succeeds or the chair falls on him. It is a lose lose situation.

After we all found our presents Hunter was still hard at work. We decided that Hunter's bunny may have been on something?!? It was hoping inside and outside, around the couch, railings, and chairs a million times, through the cars, and managed to hover his present in the recycling bin.

After all of our morning fun it was time for the boys to get a quick trim from Grandma. Aaron's second haircut at 18 months. He did fairly well. He was just singing along to Tangled.

It was then time to get ready for church. The boys looked so handsome in their new church suits. It was also a big day because it was Aaron's first time in nursery. We decided to ease into nursery since Aaron is somewhat of a mama's boy. Instead of attending the full two hours Aaron just joined everyone for the last hour which was playtime. He was so little and seems years younger than any of the other children. I was a little hesitant to even leave him but thankfully he did great and loved playing with all of the toys. We'll see what happens next week.

What a wonderful and relaxing Easter weekend. Glad that we were able to spend time with family and enjoy each others company. Thanks for coming down and spending the holiday with us!
