Our Easter

We had a very fun and eventful Easter. I am going to start with Sunday since I uploaded the pictures in the wrong order. So Sunday afternoon we went to Spanish Fork for Brett Grandma's Party. We have never been to this Party before and it was fun to get in on the tradition of this party. Every year even when we haven't been able to go Brett's grandparents have not forgotten us. They give Every girl in the family a softball, and every boy a baseball. As you can imagine we have a few softballs and baseballs. Every year we look forward to this awesome tradition. We were so happy we able to spend our night there With Brett's Family.
Earlier that day we had the Jones Family Easter Party. We usually go out west of Nephi and roast Hot Dogs. The snow didn't make that sound like to much fun so Alisha and Jeremy kindly offered there garage to our family so we could stay warm and not Muddy. Alisha and Jeremy have a fire pit in there back yard so we roasted our Hot dogs there. This party wasn't quite the same without Grandpa Jones there with us. He is still in the Hospital. We still had a great time catching up with everyone. I am so glad we were able to be there. We also went back to Grandma Patty's for our Easter egg hunt. That is fun as always.
Last but not least. We went out to Levan Canyon With the Mangelson side of the Family. It has also been a long time since I have been to this party. It was such a nice day and my kids had a ball playing outside. Someone dug a hole and that is where Andrew spent most of his day with his friend Kohlyer. They threw Easter eggs down the hill. Madison even learned how to ride a 4 wheeler.
We are usually out camping in the west Desert with Brett's family over Easter weekend. Because of that we don't always get to attend all of our family party's. Since spring break wasn't until a week later we were able to go to everything. I love being with family. I was so grateful we were able to spend our Easter with our families. I am also grateful we were able to listen to conference. What a great Easter weekend.
