Easter fun

This Easter was so much fun.  My big sister Valerie decided she needed a vacation from work, so we all got together at Nicole's house to see her and Krystal (it's been a while since we've seen those 2!).  Friday night we loaded up the family and headed to Phoenix.  Saturday, Nicole, Valerie and I did our last minute Easter shopping together, and by the time we got back to Nic's house, Allen and his family were there.  We spent the day visiting, cooking, and watching kids act like maniacs.  It is exhausting watching all those kids run around all day!

Easter Sunday we all got up and went to sacrament meeting together.  We took up 2 whole pews and nearly doubled the size of Nicole's ward.  It's the first time we've all been to church together in who knows how many years.  Then we went home to let the kids hunt for eggs and pick from Aunt Valerie's lollipop garden.

We had a huge meal (yummy scones too!) and gained a few pounds.  Then we headed home to sleep like we haven't slept in weeks.  I think it made for fun memories for years to come.

Cousins!
