Easter

This year Easter landed on my mom's birthday so we went to Delta for the weekend. Saturday we went out to the sand dunes and had lunch, played in the sand and rolled Easter eggs down the hill. 

(I had never heard of this till Bryce told me it was one of their traditions and it was a lot of fun)

The girls had fun with their new Easter sand toys

And Breanna is a kid at heart so of course she had fun with the sand toys too

My dad was working because it was still the outage so we planned a little trip out there to tour the power plant. I hadn't been there since I was little and my dad has switched jobs a couple of times since then so I wanted to go out there.

We were all looking hot in our hard hats and safety glasses!

(The orange hats are for visitors)

 

The power plant is huge and we had some good educational lessons for which I only understood about half of.

This is where the trains come through and dump the coal. They have this system down to a science.

(This is the part I actually understood)

Easter morning the girls colored Easter eggs

After church we went out to my Aunt Bev's house. Her and Sheila put together a dinner for my mom's birthday.

Notice that the girls are smiling and the boys are ignoring the camera...typical

Breanna smiling a real smile for once.

Shany came down on Saturday night but was sick so she couldn't come out and celebrate with us.

My mom made this adorable cake. It's carrot cake for Easter.

(I wrote the Happy Birthday on it, don't judge my cake decorating handwriting)

I made sure to put 49 candles on the cake so Kaylee helped grandma to blow them all out.

   

We got her a food dehydrator for her birthday.

Kaylee made sure that Grandma held up each gift for a picture. She has been trained well.
