'Tis the Season of Easter

Though it was 3 weeks ago, I think it's still safe to blog about Easter, right? Cody's family has a tradition called "Easter on the Hill." Every year the Cutler crew climbs up a big hill near Tremoton to celebreate! We started off with building a fire to escape the cold and then roasted hotdogs. We had a smore fest with extra chocolate for me and then it was egg time! Each person brought their own beutifully decorated eggs...we're talking a dozen a piece so we had A LOT of eggs! We got to the top of the hill and the races began. Each of us tossed an egg down the hill...then another...and then another until the whole hill was coverd in boiled egg crumblings (definitely a feast for the birds). The egg that made it the furthest distance with the least damage won. Guess what?!? Cody won! I was so proud:) Then we climbed a little higher up the hill for our egg hunt. We stared with the kids. Each grandkid had there own designated egg to hunt down. Then the married grandkids went. We were all in search of the same silver egg with lots of $ hidden inside. I was about 5 feet away from it when Brandon (Cody's cousin-in-law) came up and snatched it away. It didn't do well for my competative nature. Then it was the parents turn. They were in search of the golden egg. This hunt lasted awhile. They were looking under every rock, gravel pile, sage brush, and cow pie in sight! Finally Tyler (Cody's uncle) found the treasure. We had such a great time! It started to warm up a little so we could enjoy a kite flying contest. After the Hill Extravaganza, we all headed to Grandma's for easter baskets. She is so generous. We loved our basket and all the goodies. Here are a few pictures. We tried to take more, but our camera doesn't work if the batteries get cold. We did manage to get a few though...enjoy!
