Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend started out with going to the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Arizona Temple. This is the first year we went with just our family. We tried to plan well with food and snacks to help with their attention. We got their around 6pm and found a nice lawn spot. The kids enjoyed seeing all the characters walk around. Jenna really liked the "soldier" and kept wanting him to come back. It was a lot of fun and I think the kids enjoyed it as well. They even paid attention most of the time.

Saturday was a day filled with business. We started out at 10am with an Easter egg hunt at the park put on by a community church. Jenna, Lance, and Briauna went with John for a while. Caleb then went to a party at 10:30am for a friend at school. He missed the hunt but he had fun at the Indiana Jones party. Garrett had his friend birthday that started at 11am. He invited 3 friends to come. They got pizza and went and saw Spiderwick Chronicles. John got to be the adult supervision because I did not want to see the movie. They returned around 3pm and played for a while.

Sunday was a nice day. We tried so hard to get to church on time to get a seat but failed. We were only 5 minutes late but they set up seats in the gym so at least we could hear and sit together. After some rest time at home we headed to grandma and grandpa's house. It was a great dinner and fun hunting for eggs. Grandma puts money in their eggs so they love hunting at her house. We love going to my parents house and hanging out with family.
