Easter in the Snow


It all started on Saturday, the day before Easter. We were excited about going to an Easter Egg hunt. After checking out the information in the newspaper, we decided to go over to Madison High School parking lot. Whoever was in charge decided it was too cold and snowy for a traditional hunt so they made a line up of about 4 people who handed candy out of a plastic bag…the candy wasn’t even in an easter egg?! It felt a little like Halloween. Though our children were happy with the candy, they still felt slighted on the hunt. Stephen told them we could go check out the Easter Egg hunt in Sugar City (mind you they both started at 10 am). We zoomed over to Smith Park in Sugar City and they literally ran out of the car and tried to snag some eggs. It was quite a site – one I have never experienced…the children were running to find eggs across the field of frozen snow. They didn’t get too many eggs, but they had fun. A boy in Alexis’ school class gave her and Mason a large Soccer Egg each – I thought that was nice. He must have read the story from the Children’s Friend.

Sunday we went to church…it felt nice for me because I haven’t been for so long! (Three Weeks) I almost regretted that I went when I got several tactfully disapproving comments about bringing my baby out in RSV season. I decided to not be offended – even though I am feeling somewhat like a bad mother. Oh, well – to each his own, right? After church we had dinner and invited Tara and her boyfriend Jordi over. The kid crew had much fun enjoying their company.

After dinner, we journeyed over to Ryon and Jana’s and “rolled” some hard boiled eggs…Rhett won the event! Stacie and Jana also hid some eggs in the basement for the easter egg hunt…Alexis was excited to find the golden egg. Jana also made some very cute cupcakes and a delicious torte to eat for the festivities. To top it all off we played a quick game of tennis on the Wii.

Fun Days!
