Morgans and Olsens at the same time...

Sunday evening and Monday we spent time trying out our new Easter toys and playing.

Monday spring break ended and it was back to school for Brynn and Tyler.  The rest of us headed down to Mexico Beach for the morning and we had a nice lunch at Toucans.

We knew that having 14 people here for a few days might get a little crazy, and while my house certainly has seen better days, it really wasn't all that bad!  We did quite good.

With our visitors coming from snow and cold temps in Illinois and DC meant we spent a lot of time (as usual) outdoors enjoying the weather... 

At Toucans all the little kids tried out the calamari and fried pickles... and as it turns out most of them loved them!

More fun in the sun and just being together...

Monday night Kat and family had to leave :(  But I'm glad these girlies could overlap their trips this time by two days so we could spend some time together...

Easter Sunday

Saturday evening we had another arrival... this time it was Kara and kids returning for their second visit!  That was very fun but not long after they arrived it was time for everyone to settle down and go to bed.  So Easter morning we woke up to a lot of excitement - even more friends to play with and the Easter Bunny had arrived!

The Easter Bunny had hidden the kids Easter Buckets and so everyone had fun finding those.  Then we got ready for Church.  I had to speak in Sacrament meeting and of course had my usual Primary/Sharing Time responsibilities.  Then after the three hour meetings our Branch had a potluck at the Church followed by an Easter egg hunt.  Later that night before bed we had another egg hunt at home for the kids... only this time it was a glow-in-the-dark one!

Easter with 14 people under our roof was wonderful :)  Really!
