I went to my very first Blackburn Easter party on Saturday. In fact it's actually my very first Blackburn party ever. Dan's family gets together a lot, but it was always on days when I had other things going on. Plus I'd never find out about it until the last minute- so of course I was busy. ;)
It was fun. They have a tradition of going to Nephi to his Aunt Dixie's cabin. It's great. There is even a haunted cabin up in the hills- complete with broken windows, an old fashion bed, a cooler with who knows what in it, table and chairs and of course dirt and big spiders. Dixie said it is a great cabin for a honeymoon. Which Dan and I have considered, but decided to go somewhere else for our first night. A creepy cabin in the woods sounds too scary.
The Easter egg hunt was amazing. They give out plastic bugs, scissors, candy and eggs with money. All sorts of great treats. All the kids just trample through the forest looking for things that are hidden. We had a grea
t lunch and I got to know some of his aunts and uncles and his cousins. He has quite a few too. I think I even remembered most of their names. I didn't catch all of the little kids because they moved around to much for me to get a good look at them. All and all it was a great Easter Saturday.
On Sunday my family had a little dinner with Ham and boiled eggs. I feel bad that we didn't make it outside for Logan to find the boiled eggs that we colored, but we were all just so tired from helping Ben move on Saturday morning, and even some on Friday night, and I am also still getting my stuff over to the house. Boy it's been a lot of work. I didn't realize that there is so much to do when you move. I remember Hillary saying something when she got married and bought a house. Every day for lunch she'd be going somewhere different trying to get papers signed, utilities connected and paid for,and moving and organizing her stuff. It's a lot of work.
I am worn out from all the things that Dan and I have done to get the house in order, and it's along way off. It is a good thing that I am a planter and stay in one place for a long time.
Well Happy Easter everyone.
Oh and my camera is broke so I will get these pictures posted as soon as I remember to bring the chip to work. ;)
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the bLord lay.

Easter Scripture
Matt. 28: 66 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the bLord lay.
Let's not forget what Easter is all about.

Sounds like you had a fun Easter! (Is there a reason the kids get scissors--I can just picture a bunch of little guys scurrying through the woods with their hands full of brightly colored plastic scissors.)
