easter weekend in monroe

since cynthia and her boys and sarah and her kids have been in monroe visiting my parents, i decided to bypass the loneliness that comes with general conference weekend (weston is gone all weekend shooting on temple square) and add kate and myself to the bunch. 

thursday morning, the city held an easter egg hunt.  since they got snow the night before, it was moved from the park to the high school.  we were only about 10 minutes late but missed the entire thing!  thankfully, elsa was sweet enough to divvy out her share of the candy to these 4 sad looking kiddos.  sorry for the blurry photo - it was the best one that was taken!


we let the kids dye easter eggs this morning - thanks to sarah for dealing with the majority of the mess.  they all loved it, naturally, so it was absolutely worth it. 
gotta love those nosepickers!  and no, reynolds did not drink his cup.  it was a close call, though :)  bring on the hunt!!!

and, since cynthia's birthday is on saturday, we decided to take her out for lunch.  this was actually a gift to all of us, since we got a babysitter (elsa to the rescue again!) and had a delicious meal without any screaming mess-makers :)  it was lovely.

Looks like so much fun! It seems like so long ago I could just run off wherever when I just had Taryn:) Enjoy these years...once they get in school its harder!

how fun to be close enough to just hop home for a few days. I'm loving the nosepicker picture!

Donnie and Kristi said...

Ahhh, I just love your family :) Reading this made me homesick! Tell your dad that his shirt is about to be replaced now that Donnie's an Army recruiter.
