Easter Weekend

Last week my wife blogged that she is a big dreamer. I agree with her. Her dreams just happen to be lots of fun when they come to fruition. This weekend was one of those wonderful, tiring moments of her dreams. Hence the theme song "Dream Big". We had over 200 people and more than 2,000 eggs. Next year will be bigger.


We start with the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. 3 years and younger get to start first in their own zone. There were more than years past. They needed a bigger area. They wiped it out before I could get all the kids into the hunt.









Then 4 and 5 year olds













6, 7, 8 each running to their on starting point.



Followed by 8, 9, 10, and 11s. It ends much faster than the prep time.






The Murrays - always photogenic.

I miss placed my picture of the Cox Family. They are a great family that we know just because of these holiday event. that would be reason enough to keep doing these things.




Julie screaming for more eggs (or at Trent)






The crowd up top.







The Buffet Line








The Cooks (Great neighbors who help with Karen's DREAMS)





More great neighbors
Dinner Pics




Mr. Sunshine (I Love that smile)







More good friends









and more








Another Karen Idea. Family Easter Egg Hunt in the Dark. It was a lot of fun and amazing how difficult it was. I think everyone really loved it. It will become another Easter tradition.






I am so grateful for the atonement and a Loving Heavenly Father who provides a way for me to make up for my short coming and have the means to return with Him and have my family forever. Talk about big dreams. Hope is eternal and that is what the Savior gives us. I hope your Easter was as good as ours!
