Easter Burro

I have fallen prey to the advertising majors that take advantage of suckers. That's right, I am a sucker. I have no shame admitting it. Kenzie's sister and mom are in town and so I took her sister early Saturday morning to help me fetch Kenzie's Easter present. The original plan was to get a pile of ones from the bank and then get a whole bunch of Easter eggs and hide 1 dollar in each egg. The goal was to have fifty or some ridiculous number of eggs and make it annoying for Kenzie to find them all. We got the ones no problem, but when we got to Walmart the only Easter eggs that were left were camouflaged eggs (who knew that they even made em). I thought that it would take her a bit too long to find the camouflaged eggs so we went on to a more pretentious Walmart named Target (pronounced Tar-Jahhh).

And that is where the advertising majors got me. The Easter decorations and decor were located in the very back of the store. As Anna and I were walking towards the decorations, a flashy wonderful display of pinata's caught my eye. I suddenly thought of a wonderful way to spend the Easter morning - with a Easter pinata! I chose the donkey, filled it up, and hung it out for Easter morning.




Sad to say, Kenzie was not as excited as I thought she would be. She got even less excited when I handed her a two-by-four (we don't have a baseball bat), put a tie around her eyes to blindfold her and spun her around in circles to disorient her. She still managed to find me and start beating me with the two-by-four without a problem. She managed to get the Easter burro open and now has a wad of one dollar bills to spend at clothes stores at her leisure.

Consequently, if anyone ever feels down about their net worth or if you want a present to seem way better than it is, simply get 1 dollar bills to solve your problem.


Grandma LuLu is in town with Anna and we have been busy scooting around Richmond and they have been busy spending Grandpa's hard earned money. It is great to have them around and we have already done what Winn's do best - cruise through all 19 episodes of Modern Family in just 1 day. Anna is hooked and managed to drag Grandma down with her.

We had a great Easter dinner with Grandma and Anna and we were even graced with the presence of Jansen (UVA law school friend who I knew at BYU) and his significant chicka Jen (girl who Kenzie and I very much approve of and who is trying to use UVA law school friend who I knew at BYU for all he is worth :-). We had a rockin good meal and had a great time with the company.



And now I get to talk about my Kiddo. She is getting more adventurous by the day and now will actually climb into the fridge rather than just standing in front of it.
Her and her cousin have learned several tricks and they love to perform. They even know how to raise the roof or show how big they are.
And sometimes I get to play dress up with Kenna and put things on her head. She loves it.

She also thinks that dad and mom's sunglasses are pretty cool so Kenzie got her some of her own. She likes to rock them. Notice that Kenzie puts labels on her pajamas in case she forgets what she is.
And my kid still does not like carbonation.



That is our life the past few days. It is so great! I love the little girl in my life and I like the somewhat older girl in my life too. I am really lucky to have such great girls around.
