Our Easter...











Our Easter was probably the best easter we've ever had!! We woke up and Thaya was so excited that the Easter Bunny had brought her presents. She tore through them fast and loved every one! Then we had breakfast and off to church. Thaya hated nursery but other than that we had a good church experience. When we came home I put the lamb roast in the oven and at 3:30 our neighbors and friends from Sandy came down. The kids watched "He is risen" while the Daddy's hid the eggs. The kids ran like maniacs finding all the eggs and then at 4:30 we ate. After the food, we sat and chatted while the kids played. Then when the weather turned a little chilly we went inside and played games. I was surprised that everyone stayed so late, everyone left at 9:15pm. Which was a blast but we missed out on going to have dessert with our family, the Kelly's. We felt horrible that we not able to make it.
It has been along time since we had a dinner and games party at our house with friends and was a lot of fun. all our friends brought food and soda, and it makes it so easy that we all live on the same street because if anyone forgot something or needed something we just walked over to their houses to get it. We are really enjoying Utah and we are finally getting some great friendships made.

Man, it might be worth having kids if I could dress them that cute all the time!

You missed out on a great dessert - ask the Kelly kids about the overflowing marshmallow topped chocolate cake. It was like one of those volcano cakes, only the erruption was UNINTENTIONAL!! We had chocolate and marshmallow goo dripping all over the oven. (NOTE TO SELF: remember to put cake batter into a big enough pan!)

But, have no fear: Brandon ate two pieces anyway!

:)

We miss you guys - - - haven't seen you for a whole two weeks now, if you don't count the 6 hours of Scrapmania!!!

Best of luck to Derrick on finals next week - let's get together and celebrate once it's over!

Love to the Three Jacks!!!

Hey, Grandma Hicks here,
These pictures are adorable, and speaking of pictures, Thanks so much for the wonderful "memory book" of pictures you sent me via the Kellys. I look at it every day and have it on the little music table for others to see what a lucky GG I am. Thank you for thinking of me.
Love,
Grandma Hicks
