Easter

We had a busy Easter this year. The day before Easter was full of lots of moving things. I got up and left our house at about 8:30 to drive to my mom's house to pick up her truck, and some shelves that we were getting from her. I went straight to the new house, and unloaded the shelves (all taken apart) and waited for Jesse and his dad to arrive with some things from the old house, as well as our washing machine. While waiting for things to happen that day I was taping the trim.
After they got here with the washing machine, we went down to VA to pick up some bunk beds that we bought from someone in my in-laws' ward.
Then we came back up, and put the bunk beds together, and I got us some lunch from the local deli. All this time Cammi had the kids up in Frederick. She had taken them to the zoo, and then back home to hang out. After getting the beds back together, Jesse and his dad went back to Frederick to pick up the kids, I once again stayed back and taped. Soon after they got back, Grammy arrived with the cousins. We soon had an egg hunt orchestrated by Aunt Cammi.
The big kids were down in the yard.

The smaller ones up on the deck.





After dinner we went to the local creamery for some dessert. They offered Olivia a free baby cone. It was so cute, and she loved it!





We all enjoyed it, and many were left with ice cream faces.

After that, we headed back up to Frederick, had to stop at Kohl's, and got home at about 9pm. So I was gone the entire day, and I was exhausted.

The next morning was Easter, but we had early church, so the kids got to have a little candy for breakfast, and then we headed off.





That evening we went to my mom's house for dinner. Matt and Melissa joined us. The kids did not want to cooperate for a group picture. This is the only one that I got.



Olivia thought that she'd have a nice pre-dinner treat.

It was a lovely Easter weekend, and nice to be able to spend it with all of our family.
