Easter


Every year we spend the Easter weekend with James' family up to their property in Duchesne. ( I think I spelled that right :-)
Anyway this year was no exception, we went up on Thursday and stayed through Monday. This year was a little different usually by the time Easter rolls around the snow has melted, when we got there on Thursday there was 2-3 feet of snow with 5-6 foot drifts and it wasn't fun snow it was all ice and hard. Anyway we weren't sure if we were going to be able to hold the Easter egg hunt, but it warmed up a bit on Friday and Saturday and we were able to have the hunt we go up with James' sister and her family so we always divide the area up so each kid ( there are 5) has a pretty big area to hunt for their eggs, our Easter bunny just hides plastic eggs with candy in them and a few toys and fun items. This time Cisco had to find camouflage eggs and there was only 4 and they were empty as I had the prizes for them. It took a while, like most of the day, but he was successful and managed to find them all.
Gemma had a lot of fun finding her eggs, once she figured out what she was supposed to do. Their baskets were not hidden, they were just set out on the deck, Jade got "Enchanted", and Gemma got an Eeyore stuffie, she loves Eeyore. She also got a Barney DVD, she loves Barney too.

Disney Princess wishes on ice...


I tried to get some pictures of the show but due to it being a digital camera I had a hard time, but it was very fun and as you can see Roo fell asleep for a few minutes, but she didn't miss much before she was awake and dancing again.


This is my "sleeping beauty"


So I should start with I am a ding bat mother ... :-) I didn't realize that this would be such a fun and special thing to take Jade to, until I kept hearing that all of my friends were taking their little girls to this show, so lucky for me I was not to late to get tickets and take them to this. They actually opened up new seats the day before I got our tickets, so I took Jade and Gemma to "Disney Princess Wishes on Ice" on Saturday & we went to the 2:30pm show. The girls had a wonderful time, and so did I. I have never been to an ice show before, they come all the time but I never thought that it would be fun, I was wrong they put on a great show and we had wonderful seats ( thanks to Grandma Rory ) we were on the 3rd row so Jade and Gemma could see everything! Jade chose an Ariel cup for her prize and it came with a snow cone in it, she also got a coloring book. The only thing that would have made it funner was if Grandma Rory could have come...Next time for sure. :-)
