C + H + H + R = Fun!

What an exciting last weekend of March we had!  Our little sister, Aunt Jenny was coming down to Utah from Calgary to visit with the Hasslers and with her inlaws.  It was their spring break so they wanted to make good use of it!  Jenny came down to Kaysville with her four children and stayed with Cynthia and Mike.  Well, we couldn't let that opportunity pass us by so we had to drive up there and join the party.  Our brother, Uncle Spencer lives close by in Farmington, so ofcourse he and his family joined in on the fun as well.  Thus, we had the Carters + Hancocks + Hasslers + Romerils and it was the best time ever!!!    There were 17 cousins in all so there was always something to look at and there was always something to be entertained by :)

Spencer and Lori invited us to their ward Easter egg Hunt on Saturday morning.  We were rushing there in order to make sure we got the eggs for the kids.  Cynthia was so kind to provide the eggs for each of our children.  Thanks Stink!  She and I went for a 6 mile run before.  We are training for a half marathon in May.  It is always so great to have her be by my side to keep me motivated.  Boy, is she miss speedy!  It'll be a challenge to keep up with her!

And the hunt begins!  It's Evey, Claire, and Ella hard at work.

Evey wanted to open her eggs instantly and try what was inside.  She was so so happy!

Now, onto the next event.  We met at the Carter kids elementary school and played our classic game of street hockey while the little ones played at a park nearby.  It was just perfect.

There was a debate to who won the game.  Spencer said it was the adults but Carter and Abby claim it was the kids.  How about a tie?

Here the kids are the next day in their Easter wear.  They all look so cute.  I wasn't going to find the girls matching dresses this year, but how could I pass up these adorable ones!

All the moms decided to French braid the girls' hair the night before to give them a wavy look and to help us be fast in the morning with 9:00 church.  Evey got to have sponge rollers.  Hopefully one day I'll be able to fully french braid her hair.  I think the boys are such studs.  They are definitely outnumbered!

I just love it when my children get an opportunity to spend time with their cousins.  They NEVER want it to end and I'm just so glad that they all get along so well.  The Hasslers were so generous to let us all stay in their house.  Thanks guys and thanks Mike for these great pictures.  I'm so thankful that you saved me since I forgot my camera..gasp!  What would I do without pictures??
