I guess I should post about Easter before it gets to far away.
All of the festivities started on Saturday when we suprised my mom for her 50th birthday. She shared it with Easter this year so we decided to do it a day early. She had no idea.
The kids gathered at the house at 9 and we decorated the family room and the kitchen with all sorts of black and 'Over the Hill' things. Mom and Dad arrived home at 10.(dad was in on all of it so he took her out for a few things that morning to help us out!)
Mom walked in the door and the first thing she said was,"It smells like someone has been baking." Sara had put the birthday cake in the oven and we thought we had been busted. But she still walked through the hall and then we all threw confetti at her and yelled SUPRISE!!! She was so startled she almost cried!!! HE HE!! We are awful!!
After the fright had worn off she was very thrilled to have us all over and loved that we made her feel old! We enjoyed the time together and made her feel like she had a birthday this year instead of it just being Easter.
Easter morning we woke up to about 3 inches of snow. I guess no Easter egg hunts for us. But the Easter bunny did visit during the night. Terrell and I got 2 movies. The Blind Side and Sherlock Holmes. Owen got a bat and ball and some race cars. He was so cute when he saw his basket on the table. He kept on pointing to it. He knew it was his!
We had our traditional Easter/conference breakfast, Egg Goulosh!!! YUM!!! We then sat down for conference and enjoyed just relaxing.
After the snow melted, about 4 o'clock, the Easter bunny helpers, Terrell and Mick, went outside to hide some eggs for us to hunt. owen didn't really know what to do at first but he got the hang of it.
In my family we all have a certain color egg we have to find. Owen didn't really care about that. He went for anything he could find. He ended up with a good amount of candy and we tried to keep it away from him until after dinner. We did ok but had to give him a little:)
All in all we had a good weekend and are off to start another. Hope you all had fun as well.
