Easter Weekend 2013

It seems like Easter weekend came and went SO fast!! We held a community Easter Egg hunt for my property early on Saturday morning, and it turned out so well! We had a HUGE turn out (much bigger than we had anticipated), so we ended up having to almost double the amount of refreshments we bought. We had stuffed over 500 eggs, and when all was said and done each kid only ended up with about 8 eggs each. Riley was a huge help by waking up early and coming up to lend a hand. It was a good time, and I hope the residents enjoyed it. After a good 10 hour workday I came home and just wanted to take a nap. Riley had made plans with his dad for us to go to dinner and then a movie, but I slept while they went to Café Rio and then they came and picked me up to go see The Host. I thought it was pretty good, but I hear it got mixed reviews. Sunday morning we went to church, came home and headed over to Riley's parents house. They were having an Easter dinner and then a small egg hunt for the grandkids. I don't know who put Tommy and Riley in charge of hiding the eggs. This is pretty much how it went. The grandkids (minus baby Odin) before the hunt!! This was the best picture I could get of them (mostly) looking at the camera.

Little Odin was too busy jumping on the trampoline or playing with Uncle Riley to care too much about the eggs.

After the egg hunt we went up to my parents house for (another) Easter Dinner!! We always get so spoiled on Sundays and sometimes end up eating two yummy meals. For the special occasion, my parents made ribs! They were delicious. My dad was pretty happy about the result, as you can see here.

We had fun spending time with our families and remembering the meaning of Easter. The weather was perfect, the food was delish, and the company was even better. We're pretty lucky!
