Easter

We had a Wonderful Easter Celebration yesterday!! We awoke to beautiful sunshine and you couldn't help but feel uplifted. Sunday's church service was fine. Chris came home after Sacrament to checkon the 2 turkeys we had cooking to make sure the timed cook came on and the oven was hot. He came back for the rest of the meetings and when the kids and I got home the house smelled delicious. Both turkeys were done and looked yummy. Chris had to stay for a meeting but the made it as short as possible. I took some pictures of the girls in their Easter dresses. I had already layed Ethan down for his nap and Noah had already changed or I would have gotten one of all the kids. Oh well. I will try to get a good picture of them all next sunday after church. We headed up to the Argo's a little after 2. We were the first of all the married folks to get there. Since the weather was sooo beautiful the kids played outside most of the time. Joey and his crew got there next, then Tiffany and then Bobby and Leeanna. The food was delicious. It was just like thanksgiving except on Easter. Kristina brought her yummy sweetpotato sufle' I think she called it and squash caserole and a pan of brownies. She is a good cook. Mom added some green beans, stuffing and cranberry sacue. After we were all stuffed, we all sat and enjoyed conversation and watching the twins and their funny antics. Somehow an arm wrestling tournment started up in the kitchen with Kim, Emily, Ashley and Heidi. It wasn't long before the crowd gathered in to watch and cheer. I even faced off against the champ Kimberly. She washed the floor with me. Funny thing is that was me when I was 16. She beat all the girls. Then it got serious. We were trying to get Joey and Bobby to face off but neither wanted to. Well, you could see that they wanted to, but the what if I lose doubt was there also. So Dad decided he would break the ice and get the show on the road. He and Bobby were the first face off. It was really intense. Bobby ended up beating dad. They had nail marks on the back of their hands from digging and straining so hard to beat the other. Next was Joey and Bobby. Bobby also again won. Both dad and Joey knew that bobby would win since he works out, but they both hung in there for a while. I'm sure they are all sore today. It was very exciting. I think it is funny what our family comes up with for fun. Anyway, we loved the day. Here are some pictures.
