Easter!!!

This Year was a really good Easter. Ever since we have had Ava, Brian has always had to work the Saturday before Easter and that is when we do a lot of our Easter stuff. Luckily he didn't have to this year. This Year we decided to head down to the Franklin Covey Field and do the Easter hunt with the Jazz bear... Ok that was crazy!! There were so many people there and I would say that it wouldn't of been worth it if the Jazz Bear didn't sneak up behind her and give her hugs and kisses. Oh course she freaked! I would freak to if I wasn't expecting a big hairy guy triple my size to come up behind me and give me hugs and kisses. It was actually pretty funny and she didn't stop talking about how he gave her hugs and kisses and how she cried, what a silly girl. The bad thing was that our camera is broken so we didn't get any pictures!

The other thing was they put the smaller ones in a different area which was good except those eggs were gone in two seconds. Ava had 4 eggs in her basket. I told Brian if she didn't see the Jazz bear and only got 4 eggs this would of not been worth it but this cute little lady came up to her and looked and her basket and started taking eggs out her sons basket and putting them in hers, she gave her like 15 eggs. I was so touched by this, I thought wow there are really some nice people in this world. She kept putting them in and I was like " that is good, thank you!"

After that Easter egg hunt we went home and gave Ava a nap and then headed over to Brians parents house where they had an easter egg hunt for all the grandkids. Then they had a little BBQ over there, it was a lot of fun to be with the family. After that we headed over to my moms and had dinner and colored easter eggs by the way is a joke with a 2 year old, she wanted to put them in the colors herself and she would DROP them in and they would splash everywhere!! Then my mom came up with this idea for her to color with crayons on them and of course she was always picking up the wet ones that hadn't dried yet.. It was still fun and she was having a lot of fun so that is all that counts.

Easter Sunday we headed over to my Mom's ward and went to church and then we went to the little America Brunch. I remember growing up and for Easter we would usually go and do this when we were little and so when they said we were doing it this year I got excited because it had been so long since we had been as a family and now I have my own little family, it was really fun and then we went back to my Mom's and we each got an Easter basket which my parents do every year for us. I got this cute little bag full of candy and lotion and body spray and wash and just some hair things and stuff and Brian got a tool bag kit thing with some candy also. Ava got this lego wagon thing full of candy, lip smackers, movie, books, play dough and she got a lot of summer clothes which was nice. Brian and I also gave her an Easter basket with candy and a summer outfit and this lawn mower that blows bubbles. I would say she had a pretty good Easter. Later after our baskets we always have a Easter egg hunt with money and this time Ava got the most eggs. My mom figured she got enough for Easter that Brian and I could split her money that she got.. I wasn't going to argue :) Thanks Mom and Dad for making our Easter such a great time.

Hope you guys all had a great Easter and were able to carry on the fun traditions with your familes.
