Easter Weekend

We had a nice weekend. It wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped, but we had a lot of fun.

On Friday we had my cousin Angela and her husband Zak over to play games. He insisted on playing Friends Scene It (he was brave), and they actually did well. But Chris and I won. :) We also played Catch Phrase, that was blast.

On Saturday night Chris and I had dinner at his parents' house for Easter. It was a lot of fun and everyone was there - except for Chris's brother Aaron and his wife Julie who are in Ohio. We really missed them. We had dinner after playing a game of Bacci Ball. 

You throw a small white ball somewhere in the distance, then try to throw larger balls at it (they are heavy, like shot-put balls), and whoever is closer gets a point. It actually was a lot of fun. Here are some sweet action shots :)

This is a great shot of William, my brother-in-law. He and Chris got way into it.

Chris looked pretty intense...

Chris showing off his tree-flip... it was scary, nobody knew if he was actually going to land it.

We had a fun night. I really have a lot of fun with his family. They've all go their little quirks about them that makes their family unique. Here's a good shot of the brothers with Aubri, the 

only girl. We missed you, Aaron!

Of course Joan (my mother-in-law) gave us tons of candy, and homemade chocolate eggs - bavarian mint, actually - soooo yummy! She even put our names on them and put them in little boxes. She's so funny. Sorry, I don't have a picture.

On Sunday we taught primary and shared the empty egg story - it is such a cute story, let me know if you've never heard it. It's a wonderful story, significant of the resurrection of Christ. The kids loved it (whether they liked the story or the candy we gave them after, we're not sure), and it was a good Easter lesson.

That evening we went to my parent's house and celebrated Easter with them. My mom put together a treasure hunt like she does every Easter, and I helped my niece Cessna find and read the clues. My mom included something for everyone, she's sweet like that. We've never gotten our own Easter baskets, but the treasure at the end of the hunt is for everyone. We got a slinky, some reeses eggs, and a pink bunny. :)

Cessna and Lance had a fun time, and Lance was more interested in the candy than the actual hunt, but that's not unlike him at all. :) Don't you love his hair in these pictures?!
