Devon and Stacy: April 2009

Easter this year was great! It was fun because Austin was so excited to find Easter eggs. I think this was the first holiday he kind of understood...or at least understood that there was something fun to get all excited about. He even go so excited and caught up in the fun that he had his first accident in his pants in public....oops! Good thing it was at the end of the activity and we were outside!
Saturday morning we had a fun ward activity at a ward members home. We had strawberry and whipped cream topped pancakes YUM! Then the kids had a fun Easter egg hunt with more Easter eggs than I have ever seen in person. The kids had a blast, the weather was nice and everyone seemed to have a great time. It was nice to be able to sit and chat with friends and let the kids go play.
Sunday we had Easter baskets for the kids and had a few treats hidden around the living room. Church was at 9:00 so we did a quick "Easter morning" then headed off to church where we had a truly wonderful Easter Sunday. The speakers were amazing and the spirit was very strong in all our meetings. It was perfect. After we got home everyone took a nap while dinner was cooking then at 4:00 we packed up dinner and took it over to a friends house. We currently don't have a real dinning room table so we couldn't do dinner at our house so we brought dinner to theirs, it worked out wonderful. It was full Easter meal with a spiral honey roasted ham, corn, green beans, a wonderful potato dish, Rhodes rolls, and of course Jello. For dessert we had raspberry pie and I think we were all so stuffed we couldn't move. We had so much fun with our friends and the kids were being so good playing with each other we even had time to learn and play a new game. We may have even had time to play it twice but Devon was getting ready to go to Portland, Oregon on Monday and he still had to get some things together so we had to go. It was a wonderful evening and I'm glad that we got a "real" Easter dinner and had friends to share it with. Oh yeah, and on Sunday afternoon it was such a beautiful day that I took Kate outside and we had a mini photo shoot. It was a lot of fun.
Here are pictures from our wonderful weekend....oh and some of the play date we had with our friends making Easter Eggs.
