Or as I like to call it the year of the re-do! I spent last Easter in the hospital hooked up to IV's begging the Dr's not to put in a central line while my boys enjoyed themselves at the William's Easter picnic.
This year was 1000x better and, as holidays go, was not very stressful thanks to those around us. Unfortunately I'm realizing that until Wyatt starts to sit up on his own I'm usually holding him instead of a camera. So I missed a bunch of pictures that should have been taken, but wanted the memory to be written down. We started celebrating a week early out at my Grandparents "tin box". We colored easter eggs, had a picnic lunch, easter egg hunt and left with easter baskets! My boys are so, so lucky to be able to get to know their great-grandparents and they are SO good at spoiling them. We have not seen them once where Haydn doesn't leave with a bag of homemade
chocolate chip cookies :)
Next Aunt Debbie came!! She had spring break from school and headed towards warmer temperatures and got to miss all the snow Salt Lake was getting in APRIL!!


We had so much fun with her. She read he boys stories, played with them outside and we made these cute birds nests from treats Grandma Snow sent.





We also went to the Easter pageant at the Mesa temple with Colby and Jessica. It was FANTASTIC!! I highly recommend it! I'm sure it will become a family tradition. We sat on the grass and took a picnic dinner. By the time the show started the boys were getting tired which also means rowdy. We were surrounded by a single adults ward and Haydn made friends with a nice 21 yr old girl who let him sit on her lap while she explained what was going on in the pageant. It was really sweet.

After all that celebrating we finally made it to Easter morning! The boys quickly found their Easter baskets and were thrilled with their contents {baseball glove and ball, sidewalk chalk, toy motorcycle and of course candy}. We spent a lazy day watching General Conference, eating yummy ham and scalloped potatoes and desert of angel food cake with lemon curd and strawberries. Later we went to the park to play catch. I'd say it was a pretty perfect day!
And since I didn't even take a single picture Easter day - what can I say I'm a sleep deprived mom- here is a picture from the next day playing with the sidewalk chalk.
