Easter Weekend

We all quite enjoyed our Easter weekend....

We had a few different things to attend...

A sweet lady from our ward called me earlier in the week to invite us to their families Easter egg hunt. Its something they do every year and they always invite all the families from the ward that are "egg hunting age". That was held Saturday morning and they had plenty of donuts and juice for everyone afterwards. I am slowly starting to realize that most of our ward is related in some way or another... There was easily 150 people there. It was so sweet of this lady to think of to invite us. Here are the girls enjoying themselves.....

later that afternoon we went over to Betty's house to color eggs. She loves to always be involved with what the little kids are doing so we try to do things at her house most of the time....

Here is our loot....

Maycee helped me make an egg for each member of our family.....

Lydia was napping during all the coloring...

That evening we had an Easter dinner with Betty :) her idea :) We had a whole turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, stuffing, rolls and of coarse dessert. No pictures :( But it was beautiful and yummy!

Sunday morning the girls woke up to a few treats from the Easter Bunny... nothing big, a few toys from the dollar section....

Church started at 11 so we got read a little early and got pictures in our Easter Oufits :)

I had these wings that just happened to match (Thanx Gramma Kimmy)

Unfortunately, Lydia was not feeling good and you can see it in her eyes :(..... None the less, I still got some pretty good ones....

Church was great of coarse! And everyone oooed and awwwwed over our cute little girls :)

That evening we were invited to dinner with the extended Manning Family (Grandma Danene's side of the family). They had ham, funeral potatoes, sladas, rolls, dessert, THE WORKS! It was delcious!!!

And of coarse an Easter Egg hunt followed. They split up the children into age groups and had 3 or 4 differnet hunts... All hunts included eggs with money! Not just change.... $5 bills and larger!!!!

Each of our girls mad $10!!!

They even had an adult egg hunt, about a dozen us all looking for the egg with the $100 bill in it! I was close too!!! It was right under my nose and I missed it.... maybe next year.... Blake and I still did manage to find $15 each!!! Its going to be a great date night this week!!!

It is a fun time of year to see all of the new life outside. Your thoughts can't help but turn to the Savior. How grateful I am for his sacrifice for me. I love you all and miss you all more! Lets get together soon!
