Spring Break

Spring is finally in the air. The kids are out of school for spring break, My flowers are finally in bloom and the birds are chirping out the window each morning. We were lucky enough to even sneak in a hike while the rain subsided. Here is Thomas on our hike up Bells Canyon. It is a steep climb but short. We didn't even need a jacket it was so warm on Friday. We didn't have time to leave town since most of us had to work, so we improvised and pretended like we were on a trip and having a great time. After the hike, we went shopping for EBS (Thats code for Easter Bunny Stuff), the boys picked out their new Easter ties. Courtney and I just got stuff for the baskets.
Saturday Cameron and Courtney were in charge of coloring the Easter eggs. Courtney had the great idea of making every egg look like someone in the family or someone famous. This is Cameron's egg of our dog Kallie. I'm sure you could tell that yourself.

Hunting Easter Eggs. Even though our youngest child is 18 years old, they still want the Easter Bunny to hide eggs so that they can find them Easter Morning. This is Cameron as he just found "Colby" the egg.
"Courtney" The egg, hiding in a daffodill.

This is "Kandace" the egg, hiding between a rock and a hard place.

Every year as far as the kids can remember we make a "Easter Bunny" cake. Cameron and Courtney love this tradition. Something I started when they were little, and I almost forgot about making it this year until Courtney asked when I was going to make my "Bunny" cake. We've had a fun spring break together, and dinner was soo good. Steve made filet mignon, we had deviled eggs, sliced fruit, spanish chicken salad and orange rolls. Good thing I start the Health Challange tomorrow. Hope your Easter was as wonderful as ours.
HAPPY EASTER!

I love that you easter egg humt with 18 year old 'kids'. Sounds like a lot of fun at your house. The eggs are great and the cake is fabulous. It's a tribute to you as a mother that your kids still love to be home.
