EASTER 2010

Easter this year was SO MUCH FUN! Gavin loved coloring eggs and gathering eggs at the two Easter egg hunts we went to. Friday morning we colored eggs with our good friends Treasure, Madison and Jackson. Then that afternoon we went to the park and had a ward Easter egg hunt and played on the playground. It was so fun to see Gavin run excitedly from egg to egg (it took him a little bit to figure out what was going on, but once he got it he didn't want to stop, especially when he realized there was CANDY in the eggs!) Then Saturday we had another Easter egg hunt (our second annual hunt) with our friends the Youngs, Clarks and Niederhausers. The Nieders have a great little grassy area by their house and put on the BEST easter egg hunt with fun things like chips, bubbles and such! Then the boys went to the Priesthood session of conference while the girls got dinner and saved spots at the Easter Pageant at the temple. Two funny stories: 1.) While waiting for the pageant to start Gavin was rolling around in the grass and picking it up. At one point he tried to make me eat the grass. I told him "Mommy's don't eat grass! Who eats grass?...Cows eat grass and what do cows say?" And Gavin answered "moooo!" Then I told him he was a silly boy and he said "I silly!" It was so funny and the first time I had heard him refer to himself. 2.) Before the pageant starts the actors walk around in their costumes and greet people. One teenage boy was walking around with a real baby lamb in his arms and he stopped at our row to let Gavin pet the baby lamb. While he was at our row the lamb said "baa" and Gavin was all excited. Then when they brought animals up on the stage during the performance Gavin saw them and got SO EXCITED and starting yelling "BAAA" and that continued the REST of the night. It would be dead silent and there was Gavin yelling "BAA!" Jason and I couldn't help laughing, but we felt sorry that Gavin was ruining the mood of those spiritual moments for the people around us with his baa-ing. Easter morning was really low key. Thanks to Potter and Nana and Papa and Niece for the Easter gifts, Gavin loved them! Josh and Dani came over for breakfast and to watch conference. Before I went to work that afternoon we had a YUMMY honey ham dinner. What a GREAT weekend!
