Easter weekend was crazy!  Full of family, friends, and food.

Friday we went out to dinner and a movie with some family.  It’s so great to have so many people here for the holiday.  (I forgot to take pictures, of course).

Saturday was spent sleeping in, making nearly 600 homemade tortilla chips, making my favorite Eclair Cake (an Easter fav at the Fotheringham house), and lounging around.

Later in the afternoon we went to a BBQ to see our friends that are here from Memphis, Emily and Trent.  It was so great to see them and chat about their new life in a new town.  (And…of course I forgot to take pictures).  After the BBQ a bunch of us attended Zach’s hockey game, and finished off the night with a Midnight Movie with some of Zach’s friends.

Sunday morning we exchanged Easter Baskets (It was early…Zach is still in sleep mode).

The Easter Bunny had been wracking his (her) brain to think of what to get Zach, and remembered he had asked for socket wrenches, so that’s exactly what he got!  A whole kit of ’em!  Along with his signature – V-neck T-shirts and his favorite candies.  EB surprised Katie with her favorite candy bar, Snickers Peanut Butter Squares, and nail polish!  I didn’t give Zach enough credit this year.  I assumed he would have forgotten to get anything for my basket, so I just got myself some random stuff (which I had NO problem with, haha).   After we had both rummaged through our baskets, Zach informed me I had to search for my “egg”.  In our living room I found a plastic egg with an iPod Nano inside!  I can’t believe he even thought to get me this.  I had been wanting a smaller iPod for the gym for quite some time, but had never mentioned it.  Of course, in typical Zach style, he always shows me up in terms of gifts.  Show off.  Seriously, the most thoughtful person ever.

After church we went over to the Hendersons for the Easter Egg hunt and an early dinner.  The kids LOVE when Zach dresses up in the Easter Bunny costume.  It’s fun to see how they react.  I think their favorite is when EB gets on the trampoline and starts “hopping” really high.

The younger kids get really into it, while the older kids have already discovered that Zach and the Easter Bunny wear the same shoes…

Zach begged me to wear my bunny shirt for my Easter attire, and Jeanene had a set of ears ready for me to be the “Bunny Assistant”.  All I really did was help him put on the costume.  Zach is such a good sport; braves the heat of that furry costume, hops around the yard, and even takes a little abuse (especially from Tommy and Charlie this year).

After the Hendos we went to my parents’ house for Dessert.  We had eclair cake and my grandpa’s famous carrot cake, which is always amazing.  The night ended pretty late, with the women in the kitchen talking about make-up and hairstyles, while the men were too inthralled in the NBA Playoffs to notice what time it was.

Easter was epic.
