Easter Weekend!

We had the funnest weekend! We made the 5 hour trek to Heber on Thursday night (luckily, Grandma's is a nice place to stop for a break, and a nice place to get some yummy food, and pick up the worlds best babysitter, Jami!), and Friday the games began. We went sledding/snow mobiling on Friday morning in Midway, where Jeff and Dustin practiced catching some sweet air in between hauling the sledders back up the hill. After lunch - a Train burger, natch - we met Grandma Josie and the Russells at the pool in Kamas. What a blast! There is a lazy river, big curvy water slide, and a kiddie pool. Unfortunately, my skinny little Hudson was freezing and onery (a new tooth this morning explained his rough weekend) but the rest of us had a ball. On Saturday morning, we all headed down the road to the funnest little easter egg hunt. One of Jeff's neighbors has one in his yard each year for the locals, and it was sweet. There were even real eggs, and big chocolate bunnies for those who found eggs with names on them. Kennedy is quite competitive, and loved running around the little pasture with Cortnie and Tayler. Hudson was so proud of the two he found, and would not let anyone near his basket. Heber actually has much less snow than Rexburg, and we loved the taste of spring.

After the hunt, Jeff surprised the girls with baby chicks. They were so sweet, and the kids loved them. Hudson was a little rough, but was not that interested, so the chicks were safe. That afternoon, awesome Jami watched the kiddos while the grown ups did lunch and had a blast trying on boots at Reams. Later that evening, we took the kids over to Park City to see Horton Hears a Who, which made us all laugh. After a little fun at the outlets, we had a pizza, and worked on getting some excited kids to bed.
Easter morning was great, too. Everyone was so happy with what the bunny left, and it was so fun to be together. Hudson got his own cowboy hat, and wore it happily all morning while playing with his new baseball stuff...the bat - not so good for a 1 year old...Kennedy was thrilled to get not only the Mariposa Barbie she'd asked for, but the movie and coloring book as well. Mom was happy to take care of all the Peeps nobody really likes but somehow always end up in the baskets...

After the baskets, we all headed down to Pleasantview to go to church with Grandma and Grandpa, and then we were all together for dinner afterwards. It was so awesome, Grandma Josie is the best cook, and really went all out. Beautiful table, delicious food, fabulous company, it was a great afternoon. Cortnie did a sweet little presentation about the resurrection, and then, following a little bit of really bad karaoke, we had another little easter egg hunt in the yard. It was so fun to have the whole family together for Easter, I loved it. I actually have more pictures coming...We get to go to Utah this weekend too, for Gracie's baptism. Can't wait to see the Chambers clan then!
