Easter Money

I know I've procrastinated a bit on posting about our Easter weekend, but I have a few good excuses, I really do. Our celebrations started Thursday and went through to Sunday, and during that time my laptop computer (the one with my picture editing programs and such on it) started to fall apart (literally, the keys were coming off the keyboard) and I've had no motivation to put my pictures on the "old" computer, but I've come to realize that I can't wait 6-8 weeks (yes, that is the estimated time to fix a broken keyboard) to update my blog, so here it is. Since Erik had to work the weekend, we decided to do our Easter celebrations on Thursday, we had colored eggs,

made sugar cookies, had an Easter egg hunt,

and had our Easter dinner, with the missionaries as company. Friday Erik had a BBQ with some of his classmates from the academy. He smoked a brisket on his new smoker, and got to show off his new deck. We all had a great time. Saturday, Erik's parents had us over for an Easter lunch, and then Sunday after enjoying a wonderful morning at church, Jordyn and I went to another Easter dinner with Erik's mom (where Jordyn let her terrible two's come out in full force).

This year, the Easter Bunny did something a bit out of character at our house. Instead of his usual basket full of candy and candy filled eggs, he left Jordyn money in her eggs (don't worry she did get a small handful of candy and a chocolate bunny). I believe he did this because he'd heard about Jordyn's obsession with money lately (more on that later). So he filled her plastic eggs with some green stuff, and she made out with $10.00. To add to her enjoyment, Mimi (Erik's mom) gave her some more money for Easter. We hope you all had as enjoyable of an Easter as we did!
