Busy Weekend

This past weekend was really busy for us. I knew it would be and was looking forward to it. Saturday we went to my g-ma's for lunch. My uncle (my dad's brother) and his whole family couldn't make....they make up probably half of my dad's side since their family is so big. So it was just my aunt (my dad's sister) and her family, my mom and dad and Jarod and I at g-ma's. We had fun, ate good food and talked. My g-ma is always saying her food isn't as good as it was....I tell her she is crazy. I think it is a g-ma thing! After we were there a couple hours we had to head home and stop at wal-mart so we could get ready for our friends coming over that night. We had soo much fun!!! I was glad we could all get together again and I knew it would work best since some were coming home for easter weekend. I love hanging out with all of them and I posted some pictures we took. We always have to break out the camera when we are together! Love you girls!

We always have to get a silly photo

Sunday we went to sunrise service. It was a little cold out but it was worth it. After the service we had a really good breakfast.....especially the cinnamon rolls. I loved them! If anyone know's who made them I would love to get the recipe. We then headed to my aunt's house for the Schroering easter. My moms sister's take turns having the family over for holidays since my grandparents haved passed away. It has worked great the past couple of years now. This side of the family is pretty big and only one of my cousins has kids. I can only imagine what it will be like in a couple more years since most are married now. We had a lot of fun here too. We ate (of course), had a easter egg hunt for the kids and played cards. Believe it or not I did good playing cards. After winning I said, okay guys I gotta go. Took the money and ran. haha. Not really. I did win a little money....not a lot since it was a quarter each game. Probably three dollars. I can remember even when I was little my family playing cards and it usually had money involved. My family is from Jasper and I think that has a lot to do with it....they love playing cards!
After we left we headed to another easter gathering. This time we went to Jarod's side. It was at his aunt's and by the time we got there some people had left. We didn't stay long because we were tired but we got to talk for a little bit. It was also his g-ma Graber's birthday. I felt sorry for her since she was kind of sick:( When we got home Jarod went to bed around 7 becasue he had to do preload at UPS the next day. He had to wake up at 3 AM! He hates working preload because he has to wake up so early...I wouldn't like that either. Sometimes he has too. Just glad it isn't very often. I think I went to bed at 9. Early for me but we were both exhausted. We only got around 5 hours sleep saturday night because we went to bed late and woke up early. Overall it was a great weekend!! Hope everyone is having a good week.
