I am so thankful the weekend came quickly! I was anxious to spend some quality time with Zach.
Friday night we had planned to go to sushi and a movie…but my boss is currently in China and last minute gave his killer Jazz tickets to Zach and I. The change of plans didn’t bother us one bit! We hit up Tsunami for some grub and then rushed off to ESA!
Zach got his popcorn, the Jazz won, and we got some victory ice cream after at Coldstone! I call that a win – win!
Saturday was crazy. Zach had been asked by a friend in our neighborhood if he would bring his Bunny costume to our local clubhouse and dress up for the kiddies. Naturally, Zach is an amazing sport and agreed!
Please ignore my no-make up mug, I had planned to work out while Zach worked his “gig” but was too entertained by the interactions of the neighborhood minis.
The Butlers even brought their ducklings and they were a huge hit…with the kids. Me, not so much! One little guy hated me and tried to escape! I think he had Tourettes or something!
Then I took EB home (who was sweating to death in his costume) to shower up. It was pretty hilarious watching people’s faces when they saw a giant bunny in our auto.
Zach met up with his friends for some lunch and a movie, while I cleaned the house. It was long over due and felt so good to do some deep spring cleaning.
After shopping for some Easter treats (never go to the grocery store the Saturday before Easter, that was a rookie move on my part) getting my hair did, and getting all my errands checked off my list, I begged Zach to rent a movie and stay in. We compromised and ate dinner at Applebee’s [barf] and rented a movie to watch at home.
Sunday we attended our ward for Easter services and the meetings were extremely uplifting! After church we drove up to Ogden for the Hendo festivities. We had a delicious breakfast feast. Cinnamon rolls, pancakes, “pie eggs”, French toast casserole, fresh fruit…you get the idea! Even the Easter Bunny showed up to help make “pie eggs” with Mark. Too bad I didn’t get a photo.

After we gorged ourselves, the eggs were stashed away and the kiddies got to hunt in the backyard for them! 16 eggs x 20 attending grandchildren = 320 eggs! It is quite a spectacle – I usually just hang out with the babes that can’t quite hunt yet.
Then the Easter Bunny made his second appearance – taking photos with the grandkids, helping find eggs, even playing some golf…because it was Masters Weekend after all!

After the Hendersons, we set off down south to the Ville for my family Easter gathering. Dinner was already over, but we did get to watch Cam open his Easter surprise. My parents even got Zach and I eggs! Well, to be fair…Zach was given a camo egg and my mom gave me a bean shaped egg? Purple bean or egg…I’ll take it!
Easter weekend was a success, especially because we got to celebrate and remember our elder brother, Jesus Christ! Thanks to all that made this holiday another one for the books!
