Easter continued

Well, I am finally getting a chance to post some more Easter pictures. You may find them all HERE. I find it hard to choose just a few to put on the blog, so I just picked my favorite one of Riley and am linking to the entire album. First let's start with dying eggs. I wasn't actually going to tackle this craft this year, but his Mimi wanted to do it. They did it on the Monday before Easter and you will see the results of that in the album. Made a big mess, but I think he had a lot of fun. Riley has a slight obsession with eggs anyway. He thinks everything we cook should have eggs in it.

Then on to Easter weekend. On Sunday we went to church and then headed to Joe and Mary's house for lunch. While lunch was being prepared, the kids were all outside (with adult supervision) on the 4 wheelers. Riley loved it! He just kept hopping from one to the other hitching rides with the adults (+Brady). Lunch was delicious and then they went out for an Easter egg hunt. Riley once again loved this. He honestly didn't even care what was inside the eggs, just like the hunting part. Then before we left they went back out on the 4 wheelers. Reid brought his little Powerwheels 4 wheeler and Riley hopped on that thing and took off. He took him a very short time to figure out how to work it. It was a battle getting him to get off.

Next we headed to My Mom's Mom's house in Logan. We had another wonderful meal followed by another Easter egg hunt. This hunt is a little different because the eggs are mostly filled with money. There is always one $5 egg and the rule is: once you enter high school, you are done once you find the $5 egg. My cousin Ella is now in high school and she found the egg this year, so sorry Ella you are done! Congrats to Ella for finding the $5 egg!! Riley didn't do too badly himself because he walked away with almost $10 from the hunt. The hunt was a little different this year because they had filled 60 eggs and there were only 3 kids hunting...you do the math. Next year should be a little better though because Jody and Gary's kids will be there plus Chelsea will have a little one (it's never too early to start saving for college). :)

It was a great weekend filled with lots of food, family, and most of all God's love and grace.

Maybe you should tell people who's belly that is before they think you are trying to tell them all something......

The picture is very cute though. Eventhough I really don't remember you taking it...
