Happy Easter!

Every year it seems like Easter Weekend gets longer and better! I just LOVE Easter! It may have to do with the fact that I am 28 years old and still get an amazing Easter basket from my mom. I love that Easter means WARMTH outside! We had a great holiday. It started on Friday with playgroup with all the "wives" in Sandy. Emily arranged a great egg hunt, Easter game, and cookie decorating for the kiddies. Saturday, we went to Grandma Jilly's for the annual festivities. She, too, had an egg hunt for the kids, and one for the adults. Who found the "golden egg" that contained dinner and a movie (including free babysitting)? Yes, it was me, and I loved it! We ate a yummy brunch, and of course, opened our baskets! Later that day, Grandma and Grandpa Payne stopped by darling little baskets for the kids. Right after that, we took the kids to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden for their egg hunt. Luckily it was free for us (we have season passes) because it was LAME! Each kid only got 5 eggs, and well, it wasn't very fun! On Easter Sunday, the kids loved opening their baskets and surprises from the Easter Bunny. London got the Barbie My Sized Throne, which was so cute! It came with a princess dress, a twirly skirt, and lots of terrible jewelry. She loves it! Beck got a cute wooden puzzle; not fair, I know, but he still doesn't get the whole Easter Bunny bit. I took the kids to church (Matt had to work his first Sunday, ever, and of course it's on Easter) and after naptime, we headed to Matt's mom's house in Sandy. We did a final egg hunt, and had a great dinner. We were all a bit spoiled this weekend! We love Easter!

Playgroup. I dressed my kids like it was actually warm outside. It wasn't. I love that Beck's shorts are almost pants on him, and that the basket is as big as he is!

I'm sorry the hunt was lame at the Dino park, I guess I'm not too sad that we missed it! It was a fun weekend! The kids did play so well together huh!? I loved it. Hopefully we'll see ya tomorrow at the Arctic.

Hey!
Sorry I haven't emailed you back yet. I loved hearing from you and will update you soon! Life is always crazy isn't it?:)
I can't believe you remember Abbi. Then again, I remember your Grandma's trampoline inside her house! Such a long time ago.
We will be in Utah for a couple of weeks this summer so we will have more time. I would love to get together for lunch or something!
I'll be emailing soon. Love, Becca
P.S. Your kids are so adorable :)
