Easter

We had a great Easter. This was the first time in our nine years of marriage that we have been home for Easter we are normally in St George but because Easter was so early we decided to postpone the trip until April. So this was our first year coloring eggs and the boys had a blast. Treys hand were blue by the time we were done. He didn't think that he needed to use the egg dipper. By the time we were done most of the eggs were cracked.

The Easter bunny brought lots of candy and some clothes. He even brought Trey army flip flops and the bunny even brought camo eggs.



We went to Grammy and Grandpa Bates house for yummy dinner and an egg hunt. There were eggs everywhere. The uncles hide the eggs and tried to find the best spots to hide the eggs. but the kids found all but one.


This is the egg they didn't find. It made it all the way home with us. It was hidden between the side view mirror and the drivers window. We had a joke while the guys where hiding the eggs that one of us would be driving down the road and a egg would fly out. This egg didn't fly out but made the 30 minute trip home. We didn't know it was there until half way home I look over and see the egg. We had a good laugh.

How much fun! We colored eggs, but for some reason I just wasn't in the mood this year. The shirt Trey has on I think Gabe has the same one. WM 4 bucks!

Sounds like you guys had a great Easter! I love that you drove all the way home with the egg still there. That is too funny! Cute pictures.

lol. That is too funny about the egg. It was kinda nice to be at home this year, huh? Although, looking out the window at my newly acquired snow makes me second guess our decision!
