EASTER!

{Oakley looks real excited!!}

Easter Saturday we went to the annual egg-hunt/candy-throw that Farr West City puts on. It's was a little chilly!!! The sun might have been shining, but that wind was blowing and it was COLD! Luckily it's a 10 minute wait and a 2 minute "hunt" for the candy and a 30 second walk back to the car. Afterwards we went to Jeremiah's for breakfast and got to sit next to the fireplace while we waited to be seated - so we got warmed up pretty good! Of course, Ryan and Dallon were complaining because it was just too warm for them... Oakley and I thought it was nice, so we didn't move.

Easter morning was fun. We don't go too crazy for Easter - the kids get a small toy and a basket with candy. They were pretty excited! If we would have let Oakley, she would have just sat down and ate every piece of chocolate she could... wrappers and all!







Dallon got a pocket-sized color wonder and Oakley got some little people (she likes to suck on their heads) and then of course plenty of peanut butter cups. The kids will thank me when they get older and realize that Mom won't allow Dad to pick out the Easter candy... because if I did, they would end up with no chocolate and all fruity candy. YUCK!!!

HAPPY EASTER!

You must be a Higley Mindy. We are all chocolate fanatics. Dale and Jordan and even Jess like that fruity stuff. Whatever.

I can't believe I'm related to a guy who likes fruity candy! What a shame Ryan!!! Glad you all had a great day!!! It was beautiful here in Iowa---and what was even better.. no wind! :o)

Oh the good ol' days. I remember going to the park and picking up all the candy on the lawn...I was scared to death of it too - I hated racing the other kids. :P Haha

I love Oakley's mask. Picture of the day!

I love the pic of Oakley with the glasses and the one with the puppy in her hair (I think it's a puppy). And Dallon's face in every picture is a crackup! He's such a cute kid! I love talking to him every Sunday.
