The Tangrens

Hyrum got much more into Easter this year than last year. That MAY have something to do with the fact that it was CANDY everywhere instead of Cheerios. So I'm sure this is our last Easter that will start after 9.

You can kinda see the trail of jelly beans on the ground leading to his basket. We're so glad that we spaced them out because he picked them each up one by one and put them in his mouth until he couldn't fit anymore only then would he put them in his bucket...again one by one. Even when he'd find a pile of jelly beans at first he'd pick them each up one by one.

We already knew that he'd get excited about the eggs. My mother in law brought us some eggs in a candy dish and he wanted them all the time even when they were empty. He was so excited when he saw one and screamed "EGG". But the egg that was in the plant had some melted chocolate on it and when he pulled it out and looked at it he said " a MESS" and tossed it across the room. He must get that from his dad. :)

Look at those cheeks! They are soooo packed! He definitely had too much candy that day. We were kinda wishing that we could do some of the easter egg hunt outside but it was rainy all day long.

On Sunday it was a much prettier day! Thanks to wonderful Aunt Nikki Hyrum had a smashing outfit to wear and so many people gushed over how adorable he was.


We can never get a really good family picture. Believe it or not Hyrum IS smiling in this picture. He squints his eyes like he's smiling but doesn't smile with his mouth. That makes for great pictures.
Then the rare picture where he's really smiling Derek's head is chopped off and I look a little crazy.

Then we had the pleasure of sharing Easter dinner with family. My aunt Val, Uncle Tim and cousins Hillary and Del and their kids came over to see the house spend some all too infrequent time together and leave with boxes to move into a house of their own in two weeks. I was too busy to think to get pictures until they were leaving. But it was a wonderful evening. One that we need to do again soon.
Hope everyone's holiday was filled with family and fun. What a wonderful time of the year!
