Easter 2010

Ben and I were really excited when we realized we were going to be able to spend Easter with our families this year! Then, Ben's worked changed that a little bit. He was asked to go to Canada for a week to help with some things up there, so although my Easter was filled with family and food, Ben's was not :( A few days ago I colored some Easter eggs with my sister and niece

I also decided to attempt my Grandma's Easter bread recipe and do a braided loaf with colored eggs in it...

Let's just say it looked better before it was baked...so I didn't take an after picture. It got pretty huge by the time it was done. I did however figure out what I should have done differently and I'm sure I will perfect it for next year :)

Then, today we had the whole family over at my parents' house (except Ben of course) to eat, watch conference, eat, have a mini Easter egg hunt indoors, eat, and eat. We had SO much food, but who can complain about that?

Here is my niece, Britlee, with some of her Easter loot!

She even got to find an Easter basket!

It was a really good day hanging out with the family although I missed my Ben.

On a side note, Ben will be returning from Canada in 3 days after which we will head to Rexburg, pack, and get ready to move for our summer adventure. We will be going to St. Louis, Missouri this year and I am VERY excited! I have a cousin that lives there and I think she's a little excited too! The thing I'm not excited for is packing and moving :( However, it's not like we haven't done it before, right?
