Day 3

Easter Morn

I thought it would be fun to make Zack some eggs for breakfast on Easter morning. He tolerated them but wasn't as excited as I was.

The Easter Bunny was lazy and didn't come until after church. But man, did he come! I got a rice cooker that I got to use the weekend before but it doesn't work. HA HA It was full of good stuff though so it's okay.

Kevin got 2 tool boxes in the hopes that he will organize his crap in the garage. He also got a gigantic chocolate bunny (he always asks for a big chocolate something or other, he must get it from his mom). He said it tasted terrible, next time the Easter Bunny will have to opt for a smaller "name brand" chocolate something or other.

Zack got a car, surprise surprise! We bought it for him about a month ago and couldn't help giving it to him early. Inside his car however were empty Easter eggs, peeps that he wont get to eat, an Easter book and some crayons that I decided he was too young for. So not too exciting for him. He does love his car though, he is really getting around on that thing these days.





I hope you enjoyed the collage of pictures. Maybe I don't know how to do it right but putting all these pictures in order and then writing about them and making it all look good is really hard!

After our visit from the Easter Bunny Kevin drove to Salt Lake to get his little brother Jeff to come stay with us for the rest of his trip. Zack and I took a nap, it was lovely. When they returned we had taco salad for dinner and let Jeff have his Easter gift.

Here is Jeffrey with his present from the Easter bunny.

That evening since we didn't have anything planned I invited my parents
and lil bro and sis over to play games.

That's when the PARTY started!

My family loves to play games, and it's not something we get to do often these days. We started off with a few rounds of pounce. We all played in teams except my brother Matt was on his own. The first few rounds were good. I wasn't playing my usual "win all" game because I had Zack and Emily on my team. I don't think the fact that I haven't played in a long time has anything to do with it either! Pretty soon Kevin and my dad got tired of playing by the rules and decided to make things exciting. Can you smell cheaters?! They weren't even on the same team. Anyways, jelly beans started to fly. My own Mother was one of the offenders, if you can believe that. Kevin said later that night "Even your MOM was throwing jelly beans at me!"

We decided to move to a different game -Mad Gab-. How in the world did Matt, my dad and Kevin get on the same team????????????? We will call them the "B" team. This game didn't last long. It all started when I gave my team a simple teeny tiny little clue. "B" team felt threatened by this and began playing by their own rules. Instead of letting us have our turn, the "B" team thought they needed to help us and would blurt out WRONG answers to confuse us. They also were scoring us incorrectly and in the end the score pad showed them as the winners. Pretty soon it was an all out war. We quickly had to end this game for fear of a brawl.

The last game we chose was Mexican Train Dominos, I figured this would be a nice calm game to settle everyone down and people don't usually cheat. This game only lasted a few rounds as well. We were all a little crazy from all the candy we had been eating wolfing down. We even had a few visits from Crazy Old Grandpa Cavett, "Today's the day! Today's the day!" (sorry, only my family is going to get that) By the end of the game my dad was tired of the candy and begging Zack for his baby cookies.

It was so fun to have our family over to play games. I think we all needed to let our hair down a little and just go crazy. Although the 2 level headed ones of the bunch, Jeff and Zack, just thought we were nuts.
