Easter Weekend

Easter weekend is always fun and very much anticipated. We started off the morning going to the Clearfield City Easter egg hunt. The kids came away with a ton of chocolate so they were happy.

The crowd didn't count down this year but instead just said on your marks get set go. The kids just started running for the eggs and Lucy was confused. I began to push her to go get some eggs but I think all the excitement around her scared her and she just plopped herself down on the ground and cried. I picked up a couple eggs for her and put them in her basket.


After the city egg hunt we headed over to the Wrides for the annual Hibbert Easter Egg Hunt. All the kids love his. Neil and Beka hid the eggs, some a little too good, way up in the trees. Neil's arms are so sore from climbing.

Oh the anticipation.

Beka and Corey watched the kids while Neil, Tiff and I went to do sealings at the Draper temple. As we were waiting for people to arrive the sealer turned to me and said something which I did not hear in the least and so I told him I'm sorry I'm hard of hearing could he repeat himself. He then turned to Tiffanie and asked her something and she didn't respond right away and so he asked if she was hard of hearing too. For some reason this got me so tickled and it was all I could do not to bust out laughing. The sealer kept talking so loud when it was my turn and would ask if I was okay and stuff. So kind and thoughtful but it was hard for me to contain my giggles. At the end he came up to me to shake my hand and told me how well I did for someone with such profound hearing loss. Okay I'm not deaf just have a hard time hearing at times. I couldn't contain it any longer and as I exited the room I started convulsing in laughter with tears streaming down my face. At first Neil didn't know whether I was crying or laughing. I feel awful that I was so irreverent in the temple but I'm sure the Lord has a sense of humor. For some reason I just got tickled and if you know me I can't help it. This is another reason I don't often tell people I'm hard of hearing because then they overcompensate and I feel like a retard.
I was so excited to curl Lucy's hair. I never have it down because it's just not cute all straight and in her face. I envisioned little ringlets like Shirley Temples but that's not what I got. I bought a small curling iron from Ross which did not even get very hot so the hair hardly curled. Lucy was so excited to get her hair done but as soon as the first warm curl hit her shoulders she freaked out and would not sit still screaming hot, hot, hot. I was determined to have curls so it became a very nerve racking and unpleasant experience instead of that tender mother/daughter moment I had envisioned. Oh well. Her hair didn't turn out great but it was different.

The kids in their Easter best!
