After a long two hour drive, which included a few rounds of "Spot the Deer Carcass," we arrived at Kristen's Grandma’s house in the perennially sepia-toned canyon just outside of Huntington. Having neglected to make any stops along the way, Kristen had to rush to the bathroom immediately upon arrival. We enjoyed a lazy Saturday afternoon of good food, socializing, egg hunting, and a walk around the farm. Kristen got to have her third baby shower (of five) where Smidgen received his first pair of shoes. I spent my time doing manly things like shooting clay pigeons with the other manly men before we drove home.
Draper
Sunday night we went to my sister Cheryl's house in Draper. We had a great dinner, then hid eggs in the backyard for the nephews to gather up.
Josh on the hunt. I suppose the obvious joke would be that he is getting into the swing of things.
Neil pausing from all the excitement to take a little breather.
After the eggs were all gathered up, the nephews obliged us by some posing for photographs.
And after we got the "serious" photos out of the way, the nephews were more than happy to get in some goofy poses too.
Easter Past & Present
Here is a photo that was taken Easter 2004 (just before we were married) that we keep prominently displayed in our living room to show off how young and thin we once were. Okay, the photo probably just makes people realize how young and thin we no longer are. We had my sister take a similar photo of us this Easter for a side-by-side comparison. As you can see, our family is not only growing in numbers, but also in girth.
An Easter Miracle
After not bothering to even expend the effort to swim to the top of the tank for food for his first 4 days with us, our fish Ulysses Everett McGill suddenly became much more active, started eating, and grew 50% bigger. Clearly this is an Easter miracle! Special thanks to Petco and their return policy for making this miracle a reality.

We were missing half the cousins, but the nephews had a good time. I love the side by side compare photos.

I saw you tagged us. Kristen already did a similar tag for us back in February. See the "Sweetheart Tag" post in our archives. Do we need to do it again?
