Easter Weekend

We spent last weekend celebrating Easter. We actually started on Thursday by dying eggs with the Bringhurst clan. After Kennedy successfully destroyed several eggs, including one of Kazzy's, I think we will be banned from the egg dying party next year. Several eggs made it home and we were able to use them for our hunt on the weekend.

We spent Saturday at my parents house in Mapleton. We arrived a little late, so after eating cold hot dogs, we got ready for the big Easter egg hunt. My parents have a small forest in their backyard, so the hunt is always interesting. My dad claims that he finds eggs every year months after the hunt is over. Kennedy ended up finding a couple of eggs and once she discovered there was candy inside, she was done. That kid loves candy. So she just wanted to eat. After the hunt, we spent some
time playing games. Jared managed to lose a one on one basketball game against Phillip, I managed to lose my title as family horseshoe champion and Kennedy took a few laps around the orchard with Austin on the 4 wheeler. All in all, it was a fun day.

We spent Sunday morning at church. Sometimes we forget the real reason we celebrate Easter, so it was nice to forget about candy and bunnies and Easter baskets and focus on Christ for a few hours. After church, Kennedy discovered her Easter basket. The basket had lots of toys and prizes and about two pieces of candy in it. She
grabbed the candy, ignored the toys and was as happy as could be. I guess we will save the toys for another day! We then spent the afternoon at Charlene and Corey's house. Corey fed us all an excellent dinner and Charlene made us all participate in another Easter egg hunt. After Saturday's practice round, Kennedy was a pro and actually found about 10 eggs. I think she realized that the more eggs she found the more candy she could eat. We all had a fun Easter weekend.
