The Pursers: Easter and No Baby

No way did I think that Easter would come and go and we wouldn't have had the baby. I didn't think we would even make it to the end of tax season... but we did. Not that it is the end of the world... that would have been if the baby had messed up our Easter traditions.... according to Alex. This year, we had several fun filled eventful days to celebrate the holiday. On Friday, we got together at a park to celebrate Tory and Hollands birthdays. My cute aunt Holly gave all of the little kids these darling Easter buckets full of lots of fun treats. It was lots of fun to just play outside... even if it was a bit chilly. On Saturday... the events started by getting up at 6:30 to be on time to our first hunt of the day... Home Depot with the Pursers. This was followed by another hunt at Smiths and then one at a Park in Draper. We relaxed just for a minute during the middle of the day and went to see the movie Hop. After dinner... the kids had their own personal Easter egg hunt at the Pursers followed by the adult midnight egg hunt that has become one of our favorite traditions. This year, we were zip tied to our partner and had to search the house for all of the hidden goodies. Despite the handicap Tanner said I would be since I am so large... we did pretty good! On Sunday, we went up to my parents for our traditional morning events. It always starts off with our favorite breakfast, Oklahoma Brunch. This is followed by the officiating of the rules and then the games begin. First we have to find our Easter baskets.... Then our 12 eggs... Finally, the first person to complete those two tasks... gets to grab all of the hidden candy. Tanner has a love/hate relationship with this tradition because it drives him nuts when he can't find his basket or is missing one of his eggs. Our eggs always have some money in them so he will usually give up when he has found all of the ones that contain cash. This year, after about an hour of searching... I had all of my eggs and quite a bit of candy. Tanner was only missing a couple of eggs and everyone else was too. My mom opened it up and said that if you could find other peoples eggs, you could have them! Talk about a wrestling match. Tanner ended up with all of his cash eggs, Keslie's $10, Alex's $5 and several of everyone's $1. Just when you would think that this was the end of the events... we started the games for the bronze, silver and golden eggs. Tanner did rather well at a game of Tiddly Winks and walked away with the bronze. I am officially the silver egg champion two years in a row, decided by a game of memory. And Keslie walked away with the Golden egg after sneaking up on Josh in a game of pirates dice. As much fun as we all had... peanut was sick all day throwing up... perhaps too much candy the day before. She spent so little time in her Easter dress that we didn't even get a picture. Once I have this baby... If I have this baby.... we will do a photoshoot so you can see how cute she looked.
