Easter 2013

Even though Easter was over a week ago I am finally getting time to write about what we did.  After Walker had the stomach bug and I really thought we were in the clear but boy was I wrong!  Bennett came down with it Friday evening after Walker so he was down and out the weekend before Easter.  I just kept thinking if Jeremy or I are going to get it I just wanted to get it and be done with it.  Days went by and we were all fine so I figured we were past the sickness.  Unfortunately for me Thursday I got sick.  I slept all day Friday and got 11 hours of sleep that night.  I woke up Saturday feeling like a new person so thankfully we were able to go on with our Easter plans for the weekend.

Saturday we headed up to Jeremy's parents house to spend the day with them.  It was a fun day and Bennett and Carder were able to do an Easter egg hunt and play outside since the weather was beautiful.

After a fun day we headed home and our plans for Easter Sunday changed a bit.  Poor Ryan came down with the stomach bug late Friday night.  We all had plans to go over to my sister's house after church but decided that wouldn't be a good idea just in case Ryan was still contagious or if anyone else in their house came down with it so we decided to push our plans to Wednesday. 

We still went by to have a quick lunch with my dad Sunday and since it turned out to be such a rainy gross day we spent the rest of the day at home and finally got around to dying our eggs.  I meant to do that with Bennett on Friday but since I was still feeling sick and we were gone all day Saturday we didn't get to it until Sunday.  In the middle of the night Sunday Jeremy started to feel sick so he was down for the count Monday.  By that point I felt like we were never going to get rid of this nasty bug!

Luckily on Wednesday everyone was finally healthy and we went to my sister's house and celebrated Easter with my family a few days late.  Lyndsay and Dallon set up an Easter egg hunt for the kids outside and they had so much fun playing with each other.

Other then a lot of us being sick Easter still turned out to be great.  The weekend didn't go exactly as planned but all that stuff doesn't matter anyway.  Easter is to celebrate our Risen Savior and that can be done sick or well.  I am glad we were still able to see all of our family though and that the stomach bug has left our house hopefully for good!!!
