Easter Re-cap

We celebrated Easter too! I'm just a slacker at getting my post done. I've been spending more time HERE on my fitness blog lately. Whoops! So to avoid a picture overload I've tried to just pick out pics to help describe our Easter weekend, but not every second of it.

Saturday Festivities

Because of the snow, Wellsville opted to hold it's Egg hunt (which is really a huge candy scramble) indoors at the fire station. They invited kids in by age group, threw candy all over the floor, and yelled "GO". Tyler easily caught on because he's always trying to get at the good stuff at home.

Riley ditched the basket and was going for the 2-hand scoop method. She came out nicely. I would have made her share but all kids fair well at this hunt. That's why we LOVE it.

Then we loaded up and headed to Paradise to spend the rest of the day at Gpa/Gma Baldwin's. This town is die-hard Easter fans and still held their hunt outside.

This was Ty's field of glory.

It was still fun but the kids were FROZEN when we got done. After we thawed out at Gpa's they had their hunt there where the egg's have quarter's inside. Ka-ching! There's enough grand kids around that we send them in to hunt according to age group as well.

Tyler cashing in with the 2 and under.

The girls lining up for the 3-6 yrs.

Sunday Festivities

Ahhhhh, having Easter morning on conference weekend was SO nice. (On that note, wasn't conference AMAZING?) Last year with all of Brandt's before/after church meetings we had to do some dancing to get the bunny here. This year was MUCH easier on her.

So excited for flip-flops!

New dresses...Riley and her poses. ;)

There were eggs EVERYWHERE. I love Sammie's hair and expression in this pic.

Tyler's idea of a successful hunt...steal the basket with the most eggs in it.

OR

Immediately start eating the goods from his basket.

To top off our morning Dad made his regular pancake feast with an Easter twist. Yum!

After stuffing our faces and taming some hair we went to Gpa Rick and Gma Cindy's. The girls got these cute basket-purses (in which Sam now takes her scriptures to church in) and Tyler got a SUPER superball... always happy with a ball in his hand.

And these next pics are to shock my crafty friends. I know, way simple but I was proud. I usually just buy my decorations but I have a hard time finding Easter one's that I like (not a huge pastel fan) so I took it upon myself to create these. The wreath cost me a total of like $5 and the vase a little less ( I waited until about 2 weeks from Easter to make them so I could buy the eggs at %50 off). This is why I should get more in touch with my inner-craftiness but it SO does not come naturally.

Should I be taking orders? KIDDING! But I was proud of myself. I'd probably still rather go run a few miles than break out the hot glue gun but it's a work in progress.

Whatcha Think?

Is this the right shade? Maybe something a little more subtle?

Sad thing...I was in the next room. Even more sad...Brandt was in the same room. I asked Brandt what Tyler was doing because he was being so quiet and when he turned around this is what he saw.

I'm not sure if he was more dismayed by the mess or by the fact that his son was wearing lipstick.
