Easter at the Underwood's

This year we hosted the Easter festivities.  Mom, Brent, Jess and Colby came Saturday morning.  We went to our Club house for an Easter party. Grandma came later that evening.  everyone stayed the night and enjoyed a yummy Easter breakfast, egg hunt and baskets.  We went to church and came back and had Turkey and Ham, funeral potatoes, feta and cranberry salad, jello, rolls and the highlight... Grandma's lemonade!  (These pics are in reverse order)

Shane's favorite part of the day... Playing "on guard" with his dad and brother.  We lost many swords in battle that day.  (poor balloon guy)
Shane was suppose to be watching the magician, but the cookie was much more interesting to him.

Jess and Colby, Tricia and shane racing to get as many eggs as we could

Austin enjoyed the bounce houses and slides
He also liked the petting zoo, but...
Shane was a little leery.

Jessica and Colby with Peter Rabbit.  Our boys were not interested in him at all.

Enjoying a little Costa Vida... Yummy!
Of course we did try to focus on Christ also.  On Monday we had a special Easter FHE where we focused the Resurrection and then talked about why Easter was special again on Sunday. Thanks for the great weekend.
