Happy Easter!

My mom came up here to visit on Friday and took the older kids for the weekend. It was really nice to have a little quiet time around here (with the occasional crying baby). Ricky met my mom on Sunday morning to pick up the kids. It was good to have them home again. Dylan has been enjoying the weather with dad. Ricky enjoys going outside since he is usually stuck inside at work.
The kids enjoyed getting their Easter baskets when they got home.


Ethan was really excited, too! Can't you tell? Easter is Ethan's first holiday, so we had fun with it!
After naps, we went to Ricky's parents' house for dinner. The kids were surprised to find out that the Easter bunny hid eggs around the yard for them. Dylan had a blast finding the eggs, and Lauren enjoyed putting them in her basket. Ethan just slept through it all. (Luckily big brother found all of Ethan's eggs for him!)


The kids really enjoyed the candy inside of the eggs. Gotta love Easter candy!
We had a wonderful day watching General Conference and celebrating Easter as a family. I really enjoy living close to our parents so the kids can see their grandparents often.

Hey Melissa! I found your blog! Ethan is so cute--and I love that name. He seems like the perfect little addition to your family. Hope you are enjoying family and the springtime weather! Congratulations and good work! :)
