Easter

We started our Easter out Saturday morning at the Pinetop Easter Egg Hunt. The boys were excited. We lined them up behind the rope separating the bazillion eggs tossed out in the ball fields from the bazillion little kids waiting in anticipation to fight tooth and nail for "a" piece of candy. The whistle blew, thousands stormed the fields. It was pure madness. Was it worth it? Well, we made it back to the car with all 3 kids still intact and smiles, so I would say it was.
This morning Bennett and Jacks woke up to their baskets filled with a chocolate bunny (a must to complete Bennett's Easter experience), a "How to Train Your Dragon" gummies and swords.
The jury is still out on whether the sword idea was actually a good one or not I'm leaning towards the "not" right at this moment.




Jemma had fun trailing around after the boys with her bucket in hand.

Conference wasn't televised here so we listened to it on an AM radio station. The last session we drove down to Snowflake to the temple grounds and then drove back home, giving the kids plenty of time to nap.
We then decided to lounge around in the driveway to create some art with our new sidewalk chalk.


Jacks woke up from his nap grumpy and cold, but perked up considerably when I reminded him of his candy and sword awaiting him inside.
