A barbecue and a hunt

The first warm day in...hmmm...well forver!!!! We celebrated by first kicking the stomach flu out of our house...(so rude of it to stop by without an invitation!) and second having a family barbecue with my family!! With being Easter we decided to throw an Easter egg hunt in, just for fun!!



We made these bags last minute as Grandma was pulling up to the house! Stole them from Peter's teacher!! What a great idea!!

Grandma thought this was an "egg"-cellent place to hide an egg! The fact that it was carrot shaped, sealed it  fate!




All the Monson Grandkids....couldn't get them to smile or look ...despite the large group of adults telling them to!! Way to excited to see what in those eggs!


Peter's favorite...cold hard cash!!! To the question what he was going to do with it, he replied "It's going in my piggy bank for my mission!!" Insert proud mother smile here!!!

 The adult hunt got a little interesting...we found eggs buried in rotting leaves, under eves, up in trees, and my personal ...uhh..favorite...
 THE GARBAGE CAN!!!! Amongst all the dirty yucky diapers that the stomach flu brought us!!! YUCK!!

We got a new patio door for our kitchen (another post...hopefully!). I failed to slide the screen open, so when an excited boy ran through the kitchen into the backyard, he popped out the screen!!! 



THE WINNER!!! She got the most money out of the hunt!! Way to go Aunt Rachal!!


Gifts from Grandma...candy and a rabbit catch game!





So glad that the sun came out and decide to stay for two days!!!! Could it be that Spring really has come?



*P.S. It snowed today!! Guess not!   *sigh*

Aww it looks like you had so much fun! And who's idea was it to put the eggs in the trash...gross! I know how you feel about thinking those two good days were going to bring in Spring, totally got that wrong! So sad!

P.S. If the weather EVER turns around, I would still like you to take pictures of my family. It was originally going to be just David but then I found these really cute outfits for the boys to wear, and then I realized we need family pictures done too...if you don't mind?! :)
