Easter Party

Rodger and I decided this holiday we would have a party for BOTH of our families. Since both our parents are divorced it takes a lot out of us to visit everyone. Therefore we made a simple solution: A party for everyone. I had games planned out, even Easter related, but Rodger simply did not like my ideas. So we just played normal games and had dinner. It was fun.

Thanks for those who brought the "sides" for our yummy dinner.
My dessert didn't really turn out the way I planned. Inside these eggs are Rice Krispy Treats. I bought M&M's to mix in and I added them WAY too early. They ended up melting too fast and so they were mostly Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats. Oh well, they were just OK.

We ate dinner outside in our backyard. I love our backyard. Don't get me wrong, I love the shade it provides in the Summer with our tall mature trees, but that calls for crappy grass. I wish our grass grew better back there. Oh well. So in order to play our games we walked over to the Elementary school across the street and played there. I love where we live:)

We had a water balloon toss. You get with a partner and toss a water balloon. After each throw you take a step back and who ever is the furthest away and the balloon hasn't popped.....WINS. (Side Note: I wanted to play this with eggs. Mix it up a bit. Rodger declined.) Scott and Holly won and they received the popcorn bowl and popcorn as their prize.

After we played Bocce Ball. Our favorite. The winners won Pringles. Poor Rodger didn't win and he really wanted to win some Pringles. Saturday night I caught him about to open one up, but don't worry I stopped him.

I had another game planned that really sounded fun. You guessed it right, it didn't sound fun to Rodger. I explained it to some of the family and some thought it would be fun & others agreed with Rodger. I will play it one of these days, whether it's with my children in years to come, it'll happen.

Jamie was giving us Chinese Massages. It felt real nice.

We had a great Easter!
