We had a very enjoyable and relaxing Easter/Conference Sunday. I spent the morning playing with the kids and getting them ready while Josh stayed in bed listening to conference. Here they are waiting:
When the kids couldn't wait any longer, we made Josh get up so we could see what the Easter bunny brought. I tried not to buy too much candy, since I always go overboard when the Easter candy goes on clearance. So the kids got some books, toys, kites, and Brayden got his first set of scriptures and a scripture bag:
Then it was off to find the eggs. It took them both a while to get the concept of gathering ALL the eggs before opening them. They were too excited to see what was inside the eggs as they found them.
Afterwards we headed up to the Ericson's. We ate lunch and put the kids down for their naps so we could watch conference. Brooklyn, unfortunately, didn't do so well with the nap thing. She is a perfect sleeper at home, but we haven't needed to put her down for her nap many times outside of our house. I spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get her to fall asleep and she just would not do it, of course after the first hour I realized that there was a freaky poster hanging on the back of the door of the room she was in - some random guy that looked like the devil. I covered it up, but I can't blame her if she was too terrified to fall asleep b/c I would have been!) So I ended up driving her home and putting her down for a couple of hours. We got back just in time for a yummy Easter dinner with Josh's entire family..
We have been waiting for today to tell them all we are pregnant. We had Brayden say the prayer and just like we practiced he blessed the baby in momm's tummy. He said it perfectly and it was SO cute that he was the one to announce it.

After dinner we had another Easter egg hunt. Again the kids couldn't resist opening all the eggs and eating all the jelly beans as they went. And yes, they got tummy aches.
Not a great picture, but the only one we have of our family on Easter:

You are so good at taking lots of pictures! I've become quite the slacker. Looks like a fun Easter though. Thanks for the call the other day and hopefully it'll warm up soon so we can get the kiddos together!
How fun!! I loved the easter egg hunt that we had. Good to see you guys. I am liking this whole living in Utah thing. Hope to see you guys soon.
