What a weekend!

Thursday we went to Crystal Court to see the Easter Bunny. Mia was excited to say hello to the Bunny, but would not take a picture with him.

Friday, we had an Easter egg hunt at the park with the ward. Here's Mia, Morgan, and Abby (our friend Tiffany's daughter from Alaska), the Three Amigas. They loved hanging out together and running around the park finding eggs (Mia collected all the empty eggs the older kids left.) We then had everyone over for Pick-Up Sticks take-out (my parents, the Bunches, and Liz & Joseph).

I think this was from Friday, but I couldn't find my camera Saturday. We went to my parents' church for another Easter egg hunt. Mia loved the Easter Bunny and followed it around. We also did cute crafts and decorated cookies. Saturday afternoon was the big Stayner family Easter celebration at our house. We had my parents, the Bunches, the Kopayghoras, and the Stayners plus 2 of our friends' kids. It was a lot of people, but a lot of fun. We had a fun Easter egg hunt in the front yard and the kids went to the park with Megan and Alex. Then we had a YUMMY dinner (thanks Mom!) and hung out. The parents' of the kids came over to eat and our friends/neighbors Merritt & Greg came over for dessert with their 3 kids. Ryan already had plans to go to the Clippers basketball game, so he missed most of the celebration. It was crazy-fun and I am glad we have a house where we can host so many people, with lots of help!! (THANKS to everyone that kept me relatively in control:)

Sunday, we went to church and the girls looked SOO cute, but you'll have to take my word for it since the camera was missing (inside my diaper bag. OOPS!) We took naps and then headed to Rich & Betty's house (very dear family friends, and Merritt's parents. They are like my 2nd parents, so you can see why I am so happy to have Merr so close!) We had another wonderful dinner complete with the 2nd Easter Bunny cake! Mia again loved (for the most part, she is 2!) playing with the other kids. Now back to our real lives without Bunch cousins to play with. I am very sad and must think of lots of fun things to do or Mia will be depressed too:)

Happy Easter to all!!
