We had a lovely Easter weekend at our house. On Saturday we hosted my ENTIRE family over for the traditional dinner of ham, funeral potatoes, etc., which is a big accomplishment! Our house doesn't easily accommodate so many people, so we had to move around furniture to be able to set up some extra tables and folding chairs.
It ended up working out pretty well, and the weather decided to cooperate so that Jared and his cousins could play outside on our playground and have an Easter egg hunt. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of batteries during the middle of the dinner, so I didn't get good pictures of the egg hunt nor the singing of "Happy Birthday" to my Mom and Alan. (We like to combine holidays in my family.)
It was a good excuse to dust off my china, silverware, and crystal goblets.
On Sunday, we had an awesome visit with Alan's brothers Spencer and Mason. We were originally hoping that we could host a nice dinner with about half of Alan's family (the half that wasn't out of town for Spring Break), but it turns out that no one could come for dinner except Mason. I think Spencer had pity on us and came to visit anyway, even though he couldn't stay for dinner. :)
Alan and Mason had a good long talk about Mexico, since Alan served his mission there and Mason will be leaving for his mission there in less than 2 months!!
Mason also brought treats from Alan's mom so that our kids could have another egg hunt. They loved it!!
