Easter











This year for Easter we had everyone come to our house, a little stressful knowing I was gonna have 9 people over for dinner in our apartment, but we pulled it off well! The day before Easter I made Chris an Easter basket and he had to play hot and cold to find it! This was a tradition in my family growing up, so I figured I'd keep the tradition alive for my new family :) Later that night Chris, my sister Janelle, her roommate Kirstin, my cousin Schyler and I all dyed eggs. Janelle had alot of creative ideas for decorating involving fire and candle wax... Then on Easter Sunday Chris parents drove all the way down from Logan to take part in the festivities! Janelle and her roommate Kara came, so did Schyler, and Jaclyn and Tyson. We played Wii....Chris and I bought a it over the weekend...impulse buy...but so far we love it and had fun playing it with everyone. We had an amazing dinner, Chris and I made the ham (It was our first time making one and I think it turned out great!) and everyone else brought something too. After dinner, we had our traditional Easter pinata!! Janelle made it all from scratch, she did an awesome job! It was so funny to watch everyone try to hit it blindfolded. Especially Jaclyn, she had NO IDEA where she was with the blindfold on! Watch the video below, it's so funny! If having a pinata isn't part of your Easter tradition, it really should be! Thanks to everyone for coming over and helping out, we're excited for next year!
