Easter Festivities

I should preface this by saying that this is a whole lotta stuff that doesn't have to do with the REAL meaning of Easter- Christ's resurrection! There are a lot of festivities and fun to be had around Easter time here, so we always join in. The first was a visit from the Easter Bunny at the mall, where the girls got to ride in the parade with him in the train! They were so excited, waiting in anticipation!

Then he actually came and got close to them, and they weren't so sure. haha.

Granny Goose (Grandma Yospe) and Grandpa threw one heck of an easter egg hunt this year at their house. The kids have so much fun, and they are allowed to find as many eggs as they want, and them divide them all evenly at the end. They come away with crazy amounts of candy, fruit snacks, toys, juice boxes, crackers, and smiles. :) Well, almost...Luke.

These are all the Yospe grandkids except for Ike and Jana's newest baby, Nora! Cute kiddos.

Mae and Cami- two beauties!

After the hunt, we were all treated to dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe. The girls loved sitting at their own table and laughing and eating.

The boys came over and joined the party.

But when the girls said it was a girl table, Luke and Calder put on napkins as hair and pretended to be girls.

I decided to splurge and try the gluten free crust pizza with marinara sauce and no cheese, with lots of yummy toppings. It was soooo good! And I was so excited to be eating pizza, my favorite food, again. I felt normal and it was wonderful. Since then, we've eaten there a few times, and it's nice to have a resaturant option.

It's not Easter without dying eggs!

And when Grandma Toone came into town to watch Brittney's kids for her, we went to a fun egg hunt in Orem. The girls loved being together.

Cute little Lexi and Owen.

Baha.

Cutest bunnies ever!

Easter morning came, and the girls got to see their Easter baskets before church.

Cute little church girls!

And that night, we enjoyed a lovely Easter family event with my mom, grandma, and Bree, and all the kiddos. We had a nice dinner, did more egg hunts since Bree is an awesome aunt who plans out extravagant scavenger hunts, and had a great time.

Love my mama!

For an early Mother's Day present, I gave Mom this photo collage blanket of all our families and the grandkids. It turned out so cute and colorful!
