Easter weekend!

Well this Easter was a bit different for us, as Thomas was down in AZ hiking 29miles in the Grand Canyon {in one day!} with his brother Justin! He had a wonderful time, and so did we! He was spoiled. Yes, SPOILED! Sitting poolside in wonderful company, BBQing in 85 degree sunshine...we had sun too, only we had cool sun. A whopping 60 degrees :) I went all out for the kids this year, we decorated sugar cookies, colored eggs, had an egg hunt and did surprise Easter buckets! Saturday we spend a good part of the day at a farm in ID, the kids had a blast! This is when it was confirmed in my mind that we NEED a farm! The kids slept most of the way home, stayed sleeping in the car when we got home, I woke them up dragged them in to tell them we would do our egg hunt and have a really awesome surprise, only to have Ethan go straight to the couch an sleep, and Elijah just laid down on the floor! I woke them up again at 7 and put them in bed...they slept all night long!! We went to church Sunday morning, I had nursery but all I heard was how wonderful Pastor preached, and 2 people got saved!! To make it even better it was a father and daughter! It was overwhelmingly wonderful! Then we had a delicious ham dinner with friends! It was so laid back and relaxing. I. LOVE. That! My friend Karen and her 6 girls came over later and spent the night. It was so fun! I think my most favorite times with friends are when you can hang out doing nothing and have a wonderful time! Our weekend was fun and full. I was so excited to go to the airport to pick up Thomas on Monday that from 12-4 it felt like forever!! Thomas came home bearing gifts from AZ, and the kids were ecstatic! It was a great weekend!
