Easter weekend

Our weekend was filled with lots of Easter activities and it was a fantastic weekend that we enjoyed with family and friends. We've got tons of photos from the day so I'll just post a few of my favorites today with the hope of more to come soon. We'll start with my favorite photo from the day (taken by Grandma Henson in their backyard). We started out with a mini egg hunt on Friday night since Sasha was dying for some of the Easter candy we had around. We hid a few Cadbury mini-eggs (a few may or may not have "hidden themselves in our mouths"). Sasha loved it and it was a fun way to spend the evening together.

The next morning was the real deal at a park in Draper. Just so you know, Draper has got some serious, competitive spirit because that egg hunt was intense! Sasha barely got 2 eggs thanks to the quick thinking of Aaron, who decided to stop going for the eggs right in front of them and went for the middle. Sasha is enjoying the fruits of her labor below (notice her cheeks full of chocolate). It was a lot of fun and Sasha got to meet Elmo and Winnie the Pooh.



Sasha, Aaron, Rich (our good friend) and Rich's son, Dex after all the chaos was done.

Sasha and 3 of her cousins (Sutton, Salem and Kaylee) on Easter Sunday after my niece, Emma Elizabeth Hull, was blessed. Aren't they just the cutest in their Easter dresses?!
Sasha and her cousin Xander after an Easter egg hunt at Wade and Steph's house. They look innocent, but they are most definitely chocolate monsters. :) We had such a wonderful time being with family and friends and watching the kids play together. We're especially grateful to grandma and grandpa Hull, who drove all night to be with us on Sunday morning, and for doing an egg hunt for the grandkids...and to grandma and grandpa Henson for hosting all of us crazy kids/grandkids and being so generous and thoughtful. We love you!
Twin braids. I was in a hurry one day and decided to do some quick braids. When Sasha saw the result, she absolutely had to have it for herself. Isn't it so adorable how they want to copy everything we do when they're young (yet it's the opposite later on in life)? Such a doll!
