No teams at the start - it was a free for all fight. The only rule was be nice and no hitting Claire. Steve of course joined in the fun. I left Sophie inside and came out in my PJ bottoms, boots and coat to take pictures.
I love this shot of Luke hitting Tayson and Claire trying to get Allen in the background.
Allen got a great shot on Steve and the snow went right down the back of his coat.
Claire had so much fun!
And EVERY time she made a snowball she showed serious crack. Hilarious!
After I went in for a few minutes Sophie wanted to come out to get the kids with me so I carried her outside to get them in her PJ top and diaper. She was having nothing of me holding her and I thought if I put her down she wouldn't like it and would let me carry her back from Steve's house (where the snow ball fight ended up for more fresh snow). She could have cared less than she didn't have shoes or pants on. Tayson was hot so he took off his hat and gloves so she grabbed those and I helped her put them on. She was grabbing the snow and throwing it and eating it and cracking up. She didn't fuss or cry once in the whole 5 minutes she was outside. It was so cute. I feel like a slacker mom but it really wasn't my intention for her to play in her diaper.
Then we came inside for Conference and drank hot chocolate and ate pancakes. What a great day!
Speaking of Conference. It was amazing! Pretty much all I heard in every talk was "parenting is key" and I need to do a better job. I loved the talks and I loved the focus on family but it sure did add extra pressure to me to step it up as a mom and do more to teach my kids the gospel. It's time for me to ensure my kids know how special they are and how much I love them and that they are children of God. I'm going to try a little harder to do a little more. I can't wait until I get the Ensign so I can read all the talks again.

I'm so glad you got pictures of the Easter morning mayhem! I was going to be brave and go take some pictures, but I wanted to stay in my PJ's a little longer. LOL
Around the corner and we missed all the fun! Looks like you guys had a blast. I loved that it was conference and Easter. Somehow it was just perfect for me.
Snow on Easter...you must live in the Rockies...that doesn't happen here usually.
I LOVED conference. I have been listening to one talk a day online and making better notes of the impressions I get. It has been so strengthening.
What a fun day of conference...sounds about perfect..even if it is supposed to be spring.
