Easter Weekend!!!!

Saturday is our Annual Family Easter Egg Hunt with the Family and Carol's family this year since Kenny and Carol moved to Woodland and the weather has been crazy we had to hold the Easter Egg Hunt indoors. So the rule for my kids was they had to only get Eggs that are from the waist up so the little kids could get the easier one's. Laken worked her magic and got cousin Mike to pick her up to get eggs from up high and also was so proud when she found the one Egg that Uncle Kenny was sure nobody would find. Cousin Mike Lifting Laken up to get Eggs Laken showing Uncle Kenny she found his sneaky egg I got to spend time dealing with my baby hunger by hanging out with my 5th little "Great" Grace I think I have finally accepted the fact that I'm a "Great Aunt" although at times it still makes me feel a little old because I think of my Great Aunt Erma who was 90 something? But, I must admit with the amount of baby hunger I have been feeling lately it is so nice to have such cute great nieces and my little nephew to play with. Grace & Me Mason on the Deck proving that it was snowing outside. Some of my Favorite Little Girls Millie, Laken, & Grace One of my favorite hiding spots Grandpa Z's arm and Amelia and Great Grandma Sylvia laughing about it. (Carol's Grandma) Laken showing off her stash "Brookie" such a sweetheart love her she kept giving me hugs anytime I would just say her name :) Kate cracked me up she would find one egg pop it open and start eating it. She is my kind of girl! :) Parker finding eggs and decked out in his Hawaiian Outfit from Grandma & Grandpa. He told me he had to wear shorts and sunny stuff because later that day he was flying to sunny California to go to Disneyland. So Excited to hear him tell me all about his trip when he comes home. After our family outing I actually got the chance to have a girls night out which was well needed it has been too long. My Mom was able to get 4 free tickets to Hale Theater for a friend and family special they were having so I took my two friends from work Candice & Heidi and also my friend Jacque we saw the play Hasty Heart and I would highly recommend it I laughed so hard and the last half sobbed my eye's out. I'm glad I was not alone in crying but, there were alot of things in the play that reminded me of "Moo" not to mention the fact that they whole thing revolved around a guy talking about Scotland which is were she ended her life so I cried with the rest of the Audience but, probably for additional reasons, this is usually the time of year she is leaving Alaska and headed for another adventure and has several times spent Easter with us. I still miss her and hope she knows I love her dearly. Sunday Morning Easter Morning was so much fun the kids are always so thrilled with whatever they get I love them for that it doesn't matter what it is they are always so excited about every holiday. Mason also had to speak for the first time in Sacrament Meeting and had to speak on the true meaning of Easter. He did such a great job I was so proud of him. He is a much better public speaker than his mother is that is for dang sure.
