Happy Easter

Today is Easter. It has been a great day. Braxton stayed the night and woke up today to some awesome presents that the Easter Bunny brought. He was pretty excited. He got some yard tools. He helped us last night finish putting the bark in the flower beds. He was so cute helping us to shovel bark into the wheel barrow. Then Joelynn would let him ride on top of the bark in the wheel barrow and he would help her to dump it out. He also like to pretend that the watering can is a gas can and that he is responsible to keep everything filled with gas. That goes for the things that need gas and the things and people that don't need gas. He went around today while everyone was eating their Easter lunch filling them up with gas. He is so funny!

We had 13 people here for lunch including us. Joelynn is a great cook so people feel excited to get to eat her sweet sweet cooking. I call it sweet nectar! She made boneless pork ribs with her secret bbq sauce, spinach salad, bbq'd asparagus and rolls. Joelynn's mom brought her famous potato salad and Randilyn and Mitch brought Marie Calendar's pies for dessert. YUMMY. We ate like kings. I sent everyone home with leftovers. They were pumped.

I was super glad to see my mom and my brother. They both looked good. That makes me happy. 

We decided to boycott candy for this holiday so everyone got other things instead from the Easter Bunny. Our moms (and their husbands) and my brother got exercise stuff. The kids got socks and undies. Gage also got an iron and an ironing board. Randilyn got a cookbook. Hopefully everyone liked their gifts.

It has been a great day all around.
