Easter Extravaganza
April 4th is officially Easter, but it is also officially conference weekend if you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...which we are. Therefore, we chose to celebrate Easter with the Bell/Hargrave family a little early this year. And what a celebration it was! Here are a few pictures (OK, a lot of pictures) of some of the fun things we did.
We ate--and ate, and ate, and ate...
(The word "ate" looks really funny if you write it a lot)
We played on the rope swing in Maimie and Pops backyard.
We painted our faces. Aunt Kim was the real artist, and I was the "you must be really desperate to have your face painted" artist. Luckily, most of my clients were under the age of four.
Did I mention we ate? :)
We celebrated lots of birthdays, including Kendall's, Kim's, Mary's, and of course, Matt's, and Bennett's, as mentioned in the previous postings above.
We played on the bounce house Maimie and Pop rented for the afternoon and got quite a workout at the same time.
Bennett going in the bounce house...
...Bennett coming out of the bounce house.
Matt, dunking his nephew Barrett through the basketball hoop. What a good uncle.
We played Easter BINGO and won fantastical prizes.
We had an Easter egg hunt with all the kids...
...and Bennett even legitimately found a few eggs on his own.
We helped him out just a little at the end.
We Shared and ate lots of candy with cousin Emma.
We took an updated family picture.
What a good-looking bunch we are.
We played a rousing game of Horseshoes.
We forced our children to wear silly headgear.
Bennett was considerate enough to remove the offensive band from his cousin Kendall's head.
We made new concealed handgun holsters.
(No, just kidding. This was all Matt and Wayne.)
And at the end of the day, we were tuckered out.
