We have a tradition in the Hawkins family on the Saturday before Easter we go to Nanny's Easter party . Nanny throws such great parties for the kids. There is always a lot of food and a lot of fun.


It is the tradition that every one is supposed to where an Easter bonnet(hat) to the party. We start the party in the front yard playing games with papa while nanny is finishing up. We continue into the back yard for an Easter egg hunt and to find their Easter baskets. papa hides money in some of the eggs, Hannah likes to get the ones with money in them. After the kids have found their baskets we have our Easter tea party(eat). The kids and sometimes the dads have a water gun fight for the afternoon. We always have a lot of fun and go home exhausted and full from a long day.


The Easter bunny found us again this year. The kids got outfits, shampoo,church movies and some candy. Gideon ate chocolate all morning long so needless to say by the time we got to church he was out of control. I wrestled Gid the whole time at church, while trying to keep Ben and Sol from playing around. My threats of saying that dad is looking at you and your going to get in trouble aren't working that great any more. Sim wasn't feeling that great so after sacrament meeting I took him and Ammon home. When every body else got home we had our family Easter dinner and then watched willow. It was a nice relaxing Sunday .It was nice to have Chase home, he didn't have meetings because of Easter.
