Easter Fun


Easter was so fun this year. Taking Taylor to an Easter egg hunt was a blast. Let me back up for a minute. We have trained Taylor on how to get candy from parades in the past. Ok my mom has trained Taylor. You don't understand how big a deal it is to get the candy. We will block off a huge area at a parade just so the grandkids will get tons of candy! So you can imagine the excitement leading up to the easter egg hunt (for me and grandma!) We had to wait outside a door before we were allowed to go in. My mom using her day after thanksgiving shopping skills inched forward to be the first in the door (which she was.) And she got the best spot in the room. Thanks mom. As you can see in the pictures Taylor is a pro. She got so much candy thanks to grandma shoveling in handfuls while directing Taylor. It was lots of fun. Jeremy teases me that those things are really for me. It could be true:). On Sunday Taylor was so excited to see what the Easter Bunny had got for her. She got Sadies basket first (what a good sister) then went on to hers. She then proceeded to find eggs all over the house. She loved that. Coloring eggs was fun for her too (Courtney is a professional at that.) Everything went great this weekend minus the meltdown Taylor had in sacrament meeting! I have never seen a kid throw such a fit. Oh the fun of being parents. Thanks to everyone for such a fun weekend!

Sounds like you guys had a fun Easter! Xavier consumed a disturbing amount of candy and nothing else the whole day. They are at such a fun age for holidays. We need to get them together soon!

Your girls are so cute! I can't believe how much candy Taylor got! I had to hide Davy's candy after only 5 minutes, that's all he wants to eat; big surprise!

I've read your blog just a couple times and saw that post about leaving comments so you don't worry about wierdos. Well I thought I'd put any creepy feelings to rest when you see any visitors from Seattle =) you have adorable girls!
