Easter Festivities!! {2011}

We had a great Easter this year, but also a little quite. Everyone usually heads down here during Easter, because of the weather. This year it was just a few of us...and no cousins for the kids. (just kidding little Tynlee was with us..)We tried to make it fun for them though. We started the weekend off with the annual Hurricane Easter egg hunt. Aunt Lisa and Tynlee came with us, while mom, aunt Stephanie, and uncle Devin went golfing that morning. Okay, Picture at least 300 kids, and one big women in the middle telling them when they could go collect the eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt.. Well some of the kids thought she said go...and off they went which made every other kid run full speed as well. This women in the middle was so upset she didn't get to say go. She was running around shoving the kids back....there was no stopping 300 kids, but it took her about 30 seconds to realize this fact. I on the other hand was laughing my head off at her trying to get kids to put back their prizes and go back under the ropes...ya right!!








After this we headed to grandpa and grandma Eves to get everyone else to go to the Easter car show. Preston really enjoys going with his dad and grandpa since they are so into all the old muscle cars. We girls had a great time just being in every one's company. Quin and Dani met up with us there then came over for a BBQ and swimming. We had my cousin Mark, Carlie, and their son Kason, Aunt Stephanie, Aunt Lisa, Uncle Devin, Tynlee, and My mom and dad all there. The water was nice and warm 91 degrees. The weather outside was fairly nice, but it was still warmer in the water then outside. The kids had a blast getting to finally swim in grandma's pool after a long winter. We swam to our hearts content, then onto another Easter Egg Hunt for my kids (way to much candy at my house.)






We let them just run around looking for eggs in their swim suits. It was a little cold, but they dried off fast, and had a blast finding them around the pool this year. We called it a night from there and had some family time.

Even Uncle Quin was getting in on the action.



Easter morning started out windy and rainy, but by the time I wanted to take pictures of my kids in their Easter outfits it was nice and sunny. The kids were so excited to go on a hunt to find their gift, they were all so excited for a new trampoline to put in our yard. Which is almost done. (More on that in another post). Then off to church, which by the way was amazing. Beautiful musical numbers, and talks all on the Savior, his life and Resurrection. (really a great meeting.).



The girls Addison, Tynlee, and Shaylee. Dressed in their Easter outfits (Side note..Tynlee's dress was the same one her mom wore when she was a baby, my mom put it on her for her Easter Dress).




We then came home, changed and headed off to Grandpa and Grandma Eves for Easter dinner.
Everyone came that was with us the day before..and we all had a blast, eating way to much food and Easter candy and playing games. Aunt Stephanie bought a Wii and we played Dance off. We loved it and are hooked. Can't wait tell next time. We had a great Easter weekend and enjoyed remembering our savior, being with family, and friends.
