Easter Fun!

Well another Easter has come and gone. Like every year my mom had our baskets loaded to the maximum. I feared our basket would break apart every time I shifted it. We easily made off with a couple pounds of candy. Grandma couldn't resist. Nile's basket had some baby food, cheerios, a cereal container, a light up bouncy ball, a wooden block rattle (a puzzle but Nile doesn't know), and even a package of Mini M&Ms.

The night before Easter my mom whipped up an adorable little pair of springy linen stripped pants for Nile that turned out just to die for. He thought they were fantastic but of course, he had to puke on something Easter morning. Lucky for me it was his shirt and his Aunt, not his new pants!

Easter morning we woke up and came out to the kitchen to see the line of Easter baskets down the bar. One for my Dad and Mom to share, one for Kirstee and Makadee each, one for CJ and Heidi to share, Cameron's (plus something for Trooper the dog), then came the basket for me and Greg, and last but not least Nile's first Easter basket. Nile was a little more interested in our basket from the start cause it had all the colorful candies that he could easily grab. We got some breakfast in us, with the addition of some much needed sugar, and got ready for church. Nile wore his fancy new pants with a nice crisp, white button up shirt. He looked adorable. Heidi, CJ and the Girls met us a church and we had a good time there. After church we came home, took off Nile's pukey shirt, got into some pants myself and helped Grandma tidy up the house for our family to arrive for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Great Grandpa Huntsman hasn't been feeling well lately so he and Grandpa Larry stayed in Ft. Green.

The Easter party consisted of Mark and Mallory, Greg, Joan, Jesse, Jake and Sammie, Royell, Mackenzie, Gideon, Jonah and Joshua, Grandma Lois, CJ, Heidi, Kirstee, and Makadee and of course US! Greg had to stay home in Logan, though, cause he had a really bad cold. We bbq-ed, ate and then it was time for the Hunt. The older kids went out back and hid the eggs around the yard and then the wee-ones were free. The older kids had a little more independent success but I'd say Nile and I and Royell and Joshua did ok too. Although they were more interested in the eggs than their contents.
Those are Nile's fancy pants by the way. Nile really enjoyed lounging on the grass playing with his Easter Eggs. It was a really nice holiday. We certainly missed Dad in Logan but it was kind of him to spare us the sickness. All in all, another fantastic holiday at Grandpa and Grandma Woodcox's.
