April Madness

We didn't really experience March Madness, but the first five days of April have been a bit on the busy, mad side. All of my siblings were in town for a Nyborg/Foote Reunion sponsored by Velva's family. Janis was in charge of this one and she planned a full agenda of four days of fun which included General Conference viewing, Easter Pageant attendance, outdoor and Easter activities, and great meals at four different homes. Aunts, uncles, and cousins came from far away to experience our beautiful weather and sunshine. They were so smart to have spent Easter in the sunshine because if they had remained home it would have been Easter in the snow.


Late Sunday afternoon as extended family members began their travels home, Grandpa Glen sponsored his annual Easter egg hunt in his beautiful garden for his grandchildren.

Miss Julianna went straight for the dark chocolate. I am even now trying to get the stains out of her new dress! For a first time hunter, she had impressive skills.


TJ was hoping to find some cash in those eggs. I was so busy putting the final touches on our Easter dinner, I forgot to ask if he had success.

Heather had some great "girl" time with her cousins this weekend. Heather loves girl time!


Toby also found success. He has been having some grandpa/grandma time the last two days. Today makes a week since his mom, Susan, had the radioactive iodine treatment for her thyroid cancer. She was asked not to be around her children for 7 days. Luckily, the children had many other activities to distract them. She is slowly feeling better but missing her little ones.


Ruby is a master hunter. She even gave out good hints to the other hunters.

Sadie, that is a very full basket! Did your daddy help you just a little?


My little sweethearts! Julianna couldn't sit still long enough for this photo!

Special thanks to these egg fillers and hiders. Nichelle and Nate did a great job making it fun for their nieces and nephews. Next year they will have a little boy joining in on all the fun!
