Easter Weekend

Easter was so much fun! We started the weekend off by going to the temple on Friday (yes we did go to the temple Wednesday too) and then went to the Olive garden for dinner. After diner we went to my parent’s house and watched a movie.

Saturday Dan had to work form 9:00 - 3:00 :( so I cleaned the house a little bit then hung out with my friend Jen. I wanted to get Dan an Easter basket so Jen was a good sport and came along with me. We went to two different stores and I got everything I needed. I decided to buy me an Easter basket too because I didn't think Dan would get me one (which is totally fine - he is a guy and they don't think about stuff like that) and I wanted us to open them together. So when 3:30 rolled around and Dan wasn't home from work and I hadn't heard from him - I started getting a little worried because he always calls me on his way home from work. I text him and I didn't get a response until almost 4 and he just said I'm almost home. When he walked in the door he was holding a sack behind his back and ran into our room. He hurried and got ready and we left to go to my grandma and Grandpa Koch's house for the annual Easter egg hunt. We spent a few hours there - had dinner and visited with the family and then went home. I decided to give him his Easter basket that night so that we weren’t doing that on Sunday and thinking more about the basket than what Easter really represents, so I got out his Easter basket and he told me to close my eyes cause he had one for me! I was so excited when he told me that!!! I mean I figured that was what was in the bag when he got home from work but I didn't want to assume. But the funniest part about it is that he got me pretty much the exact same thing I got myself. Haha. I really wanted the movie Enchanted so I bought it for me - and so did Dan. And he also got me really yummy candy and stuff, but I just thought it was so funny that we both got that. He is so cute!!!

Sunday we went to church with my parents and had dinner with them and my grandma and grandpa Koch and my grandma Wilcock, then we dyed Easter eggs and got dye all over our hands, but came up with some WAY cool designs and then my mom gave us our Easter baskets. She is so cute and she got us way too much candy haha, and also a scripture marking pen and a notebook to take notes in, and two backpacks for us to do our 72 hour kits in. I was way excited about that because I have started putting our 72 hour kits together but didn't have anything to put them in and now I do!!! Then we went to Dan's parent’s house and sat down with them while they had dinner. Aunt Sherry, Grandma Lockhart, and Grandpa Garner were all there too so it was fun to be with other family! After dinner Leesa gave us our basket - and once again - too much candy in it haha and some really cute Easter decorations which I really need and then we watched Enchanted with them and talked and just had fun. I love being so close to both of our families so that we are able to see them on Holidays. We had a great weekend!
