Easter Activities


On Saturday morning the Easter Bunny visited our house.  The kids were so excited to see what they had gotten that they woke up very early!!  
Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Graff's house for an egg hunt (in the rain) with all the cousins!!! The kids had a blast.  They loved hunting for the eggs with their names on them.  They scored some money and some candy!!  Then, Grandma and Grandpa surprised the adults with an egg hunt of their own.  The hunt was on for the eggs!!! Nate and I scored taking away the most "free" eggs and scored some cash!! It was fun and I hope that we make this a yearly tradition as well (hint, hint)  Grandma and Grandpa then handed out all the family easter baskets, where the kids found more candy, the traditional swimsuits, card games, pencils, and a new FHE book.  We ate some grub then headed off to yet another egg hunt!!

This time the hunt was at Grandma and Grandpa Abbott's house where the kids searched high and low for the eggs with their number on them!!! They scored more money, toys, and candy!!  Then we had a BBQ (indoors, due to the weather).  Then it was time to go home and get ready for Josie's Baptism!!


Josie's baptism was just what we needed to end the night.  After the baptism we ate dinner at Josie's house and then headed off to get ready for the next day of activities.  
Sunday (Easter) we woke up and went to church.  I taught an Easter lesson for my Beehives and handed out cute Easter handouts!! As soon as church was over, we headed over for Easter dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Graff's house where we ate with all the cousins, etc.   When we finally got home for the night, we were exhausted!! What a fun-filled weekend!!! Thanks everybody for such a great time!!!  We hope that everyone had a good Easter!!

PIrate Island Pizza

Today we spent the afternoon at the new Pirate Island Pizza.  We went with most all of our cousins and Grandma Graff (and of course all the parents.) We missed Dad, he had to work (what a bummer) Inside it's built pretty cool, they  have a huge pirate ship, a real waterfall, and lots of other features.  The most exciting part for all the kids was the game room.  It's a big arcade with games, tickets, etc.  The kids had a blast using all their tokens and winning tickets.  We will definitely have to go back and take Dad!  Thanks Grandma for taking us we had so much fun being with everyone!
