Max playing Donkey for the first time with Papa, Melissa, Kimmy and Jared. It was a wild game with Melissa and Max going back and forth giving each other wood tiles. Max ended up winning and going out, Melissa went out next because she gave Jared a lot of tiles, then Bill gave Jared lots of wood tiles too, Kimmy went out too. Poor Jared got stuck with the donkey, and had to wear the hat and say Hee Haw
 | Jared and Max playing. Max really liked the game and did lots of laughing

 |
| Jacob and Jared.....Jared’s stack was so high |
 |
| Jared did a great job hee hawing and wearing that donkey hat. Abi thought it was pretty funny |

We drove separately to church. I only went to the early service and Bill stayed for both. I had to get home and prepare food for dinner. Jacob and Abi came early, so it was a good thing I came home. I was so happy to see them. They asked what they could do to help so I washed potatoes, Abi forked them, then put olive oil on them, then Jacob salted them, wrapped them in foil and put them in the big oven roaster. We were a great team. When I finished washing them, I offered to take one of their places, but they said they were having fun and wanted to finish. They were such blessings and such a great help. They sure saved me a lot of time. Jacob carried them out and put them in the roaster. I started the roaster, figuring it would be about 1 1/2 hours before they would be done. I had watched a video on it and she had said around an hour. I had the sloppy Joes going in 2 crockpots already and had a sheet cake baked.
All the girls and families were going to church, than coming over later. They all got here close to the same time. Melissa brought chips, Hailey made guacamole salsa, and cheese its that tasted amazing, Stacie brought deviled eggs, Vikki brought buns an Kimmy brought freezer corn from their garden. The potatoes took longer than the lady said so after 1 1/2 hours, we decided to have the dad’s hide the baskets and let the kids find them. I handed envelopes with money or gift cards from Bill and I to each of the grandkids and Abi. Only six kids wanted baskets this year. Those over 18 don’t get baskets anymore, but get gift cards. They did get to eat out of the adult age candy container that I made up. They were pretty happy about that. I also put a bowl of colored hardboiled eggs out. Kimmy had started the cooking the freezer corn in the microwave too and that took longer than we thought too. That and the potatoes ended up getting done around the same time. Finally we put things on the table, then prayed as a family and ate. We ate dessert afterwards. Everything tasted good. Travis and Rehvyn had left before we ate to go to Omi’s for her egg hunt and dinner. He came back in time for our egg hunt and he ate before we did that. He left with Bill to go look at a car. Vikki fed Rehvyn, because he didn’t eat hardly anything at Omi’s. Then all the kids lined up and went out the front door and did the egg hung. Isaac, Adam, Kody and Max didn’t do it this year. It was cold and windy out so the kids were fast getting all those eggs. I took extra buckets out to them. Rehvyn was really cute finding eggs. They all came in and opened the eggs and counted the money they got. Eli got the most with getting $10.50 in quarters.
We had a great day hanging out and playing games. It was so nice having all the family here and having Abi as a bonus. (except we missed Kenzie) The kids all enjoyed hanging out together. I am so thankful we have a close family. It was late when everyone left and Eli and Isaac spent the night at our house. Jack and Evan wanted to also, but they had things going on in the morning. Bill and I went to bed at 1:10 and the boys had to be in bed at 2 a.m. their moms said. Phones went on the kitchen counter while they slept upstairs. They are great kids and follow rules well. I’m so glad they still like to spend the night.
