3 Days of Easter

This year for Easter we celebrated three different days.  We had Easter at home with each other, then another Easter with my grandparents and cousins, and then the third with Cody's family down in Cedar City.

Last summer before we got married i found two little Easter baskets at a garage sale for 25cents each.  They weren't very cute, but for 25cents i thought why not!




I decided I wanted a cute Easter basket, so i took some ribbon and things from my craft room and put together this little thing.  Much cuter.
Since we were having 3 Easters I didn't want to go overboard with our baskets, but being our first Easter married I wanted to do something.  So I bought a few DVDs and some dollar store candy to fill our baskets. 
For Easter every year my grandparents have a big Easter party for all the grandchildren.  My grandma fills the basement with candy, and toys, and little knick knacks and we all fill our grocery bag with whatever we can grab.  Then My Grandpa hides a $20 bill for each grandchild and we all have to find our $20.
At the end my grandpa always makes up some sort of challange that we all have to compete in for a $100 and a $50.  The last two years in a row we had to bounce a golf ball and land it my grandpa's old shoe.  This year we had to throw a golf ball from across the room and get it into one of the two holes.

The first person to get the ball into the hole on the left gets $100, and the first two to get it into the bigger hole on the right get $50 each.  This year Cody was the first to get it into the small hole, and won the $100!  Between the two of us we came home with $140 this Easter!
