Easter Weekend

This weekend we had a ton of fun visiting both of our parents. We slept over at Shaun's parents' Friday night after being down in SL for a mission reunion. Saturday morning his mom fixed a huge breakfast and we watched conference with the whole fam. We even got to see his older sister and her husband, who I don't think we've seen since our wedding. His mom gave us kites and Easter candy for our Easter present.

We both had to work in Logan that evening, and then we headed to my parents' and stayed the night. My sister Jamie and her husband Russ were there from Provo, so it was fun to see them too. Easter Sunday was busy! We woke up to a scavenger hunt the Easter bunny had left for us to find our baskets. Yes, we still get baskets, even though we're married - but we share. :) Jamie wants us to hold off having kids for a few more years so we can keep getting Easter baskets for ourselves, lol. I don't know if it's because Brooke and Carly are still at home and my mom just doesn't want to leave us out, or if she's just so excited for grandkids or what. But we like it. We did an Easter egg hunt too! There was a cash prize even! It got a little intense too - Russ, Carly and I all ended up on the ground going for the same egg. And Russ ripped Carly's grocery sack open - way to play dirty! Shaun won the prize! Yay Baby! 30 eggs! Jamie came in second with 22. Then we got to visit our neighbor's "petting zoo". They had a one week old baby goat. It was the cutest thing ever. It hasn't even grown ears yet and it made the sweetest sounds. They also had angora goats, an angora rabbit, a yak, and some other goats and a sheep. It was a fun weekend, and we came home with POUNDS of candy!!
