Moody Family Reunion

Over Easter weekend we had a Moody Family reunion. It was so fun to be all together! We enjoyed celebrating Easter, playing games, participating in a talent show and listening to a fireside. We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family.

Dying Eggs

One of our favorite things to do at Easter time is dying eggs!  It's magical to watch the eggs turn color!

 It was so much fun dying eggs with so many people that we love!  Aren't we a festive bunch!

I loved watching my older boys take their time to make sure their eggs turned out just perfect.

Later that night we played "Egg Wars!"  Two people would sit opposite each other and roll their eggs toward each other until they hit.  The Egg that had the least amount of cracks got to advance to the next round!  Uncle Dustin even organized us into brackets so our tournament was legit!

 Egg wars might be one of our new favorite traditions!

Easter Egg Hunt!

This Easter we had a Moody family reunion!  We rented a beautiful home with room for all of us and had a great time celebrating together.  Our boys loved the Easter Egg Hunt!  Matthew even  found the golden egg with five dollars inside! 

Matthew found the Golden Egg partially hidden under a rock!  He has a nose for cash!

Josh, Matthew and Ethan were the 3 Amigos for the weekend!

The Easter bunny worked over time to deliver baskets to all of the Moody cousins!

Treasure Hunting

Earlier this spring my boys had a wonderful surprise! Our neighbors directed them to the dirt pile in the lot next door, and as the boys dug and sifted they found oodles of buried treasure!
