We enjoyed a fun Saturday before Easter at my parents house in Blackfoot with my sisters, my grandma Johnson, and of course, my parents! I love getting together with my family at it seems it only gets more exciting as the kids get older. They all get along so well so we rarely have to deal with fighting which leaves lots of time for visiting, playing, laughing, eating, and just hanging out enjoying each other's company. My mom and dad always make things really fun and festive and we always have way too much good food to eat. Boo hoo! This year, mom ordered pizza for lunch so we could keep it simple and spend more time preparing for our awesome Easter egg hunt. We always have tons of candy to put in the eggs but our favorite thing is bringing all sorts of extra things like, granola bars, drink boxes, individual chip bags, fruit snacks, twinkies, etc. to throw out on the lawn so that pretty much every where you step there is a treat. We also have the kids do all the hunting they want and when they fill their basket, they come back and dump it in the giant pile and then go for more. Then we divide everything up equally so that everyone ends up with the same amount of stuff. This is probably the funnest thing because the kids all line up and grandma gives them each a huge ziploc bag and the adults (and Regan and Todd) who think they're too big to hunt :):) take turns dropping things in the kids bag. I love it!!

Oh, I love your Easter pics! Such a fun day for Dad and me. We love every second of it! I think pizza will be on the menu every year...what else can you set out to eat that every single person will love! Best of all...little clean-up and, you're right, much more time together just enjoying each other and the kids.
