Easter / La Semana Santa
Easter this year was on April 18, and it was also a big deal in Spain! They have big parades in the streets and celebrate for like a whole week. It's called La Semana Santa (Holy Week). So Gabe got to experience that and sent us pictures and videos! He spent Easter Sunday at their Bishop's house, who they love. They ate paella and there was lots of singing and dancing!
Here in Idaho, we celebrated in the usual American ways. On the day before Easter, we went to Brad and Diane's house for a grandkid Easter egg hunt. Caleb found the special egg with the $50 bill inside! Avery brought her two friends, Espyn and Briella, along and they found a bunch of candy and about $30 between the three of them!
On Sunday, Avery and Caleb found their Easter baskets, then we went to church and then came home and the Hughes family came over. We did a little egg hunt in the backyard for her kids and then we had some carrot cake and played Scattegories.
Caleb's Junior Proms (Twin Falls and Madison)
The last weekend in April, Caleb and three friends drove down to Twin Falls and took some girls they had never met before to prom! It sounds weird, but it was basically because Lindsey Summers asked them to. It was her niece, Maely, who was a senior, and her friends. Apparently, no boys had ever asked them to a dance in all of high school! Sad. So Lindsey formulated this plan to have Colter (her son) and his 3 friends come down there for the weekend and take these girls to their prom. Caleb was the one that got paired with Maely, and she was a really nice girl. They had fun, didn't have to pay for anything, and there was so stress or anything. They did a little cooking show activity that the girls' moms had prepared for their date before the dance, then they took pictures, ate dinner at one of their girl's houses, and then went to the dance. It was kind of funny because apparently Caleb made quite a scene doing the worm and acting all crazy like he does, and one of Devin Dial's sisters, who lives in that town, even told Devin how awesome this group of boys from Rexburg was.
About two weeks later, on May 3, Caleb took Lexi to prom. For their day date, they went paint balling in the morning. Then they went back home and got showered and got ready, They did pictures with Colter's aunt in the BYUI gardens, and then they went out to dinner at Fresco. Caleb said he had a lot of fun, and was only a little annoyed that he had to spend like $150 of his own money because he actually did really like the girl he went with. ;) He even made her the bouquet (no corsages this year) all by himself (mostly) and it turned out so cute. It matched her dress perfectly!
