I loaded my car with Easter candy, buckets of eggs, and mini Book of Mormons.  I left around 10:30 and was so happy I didn't have to winterize!  As I pulled out of the driveway there were three antelope staring at me from the side yard.  As I slowly pull out I see that they brought their friends.  There is a herd of about 15 or 20 antelope in my yard.  I tried to get pictures but they were spooked and ran.  They looked so beautiful!

I need a camera with a telephoto lens!

I stopped for lunch at Arby's in Payson.  As soon as I got to the house in Chandler I unloaded all my goodies and then went down to Sheri's where she and her boys and Kim and Joshua were coloring eggs.  I think Joseph was out running.  

Cash and Carter Pace join in the fun.

You're never to old to color Easter eggs.

I loved the neon colors!

Across the street at Zaki's the guys were pouring concrete.

After the egg coloring I went back to the house and got "Peep" buckets and Book of Mormon's ready for Jared's kids.  I wrote all of them a personal note and attached it to the Book of Mormon.

I went to Sam's Club and got gas and my car washed and did some shopping for tomorrow's lunch when Tricia called and said they were back from eating dinner.  I went home and unloaded and drove to the Mesa Temple.  There were crowds of people and cars everywhere.  I met James and Tricia over by the family history center and gave them the goods.  I didn't even get out of the car but I did give each of them a hug.

On the way home I stopped at Panda Express and got some dinner for James and I.

Oh yes, the yard guy and his boys didn't get our yard finished because his weedeater broke down.  He said he would come back and finish on Monday.  It's good enough for our Easter egg hunt tomorrow.

James left around 4:30 this morning for the valley.  I ran in and took a shower before he left so he could turn the water off and winterize.  I left around 7.  I stopped in Payson for a bacon breakfast burrito at Del Taco.  I arrived at Dr. Douglas's office in Chandler just before 11am for my teeth cleaning appointment with Jackie.  Before leaving the office I scheduled an appointment for my crown on January 24th.
 Did a little shopping at Walmart and bought a croissant sandwich for lunch then headed to Mesa for my appointment at the Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Center with Dr. Caldron.  My appointment was going fine until Dr. Caldron told me they did not get the lab results from when I had my blood drawn at Dr. Wilson's office in December, which means they had to draw blood again today.  I also got a flu shot. 
This evening James and I went to get tires at Sears for my car.  We ended up not getting them because James said they were $200 and he thought he could get them cheaper at Discount Tire.
We used our $25 gift card at Chili's for dinner.  I got the mango salsa chicken with broccoli and rice.  It was yummy!
I took Sheri to drop off her car at Erik's.  James and I read from our book before going to bed. (The Accidental Detective.)

James left early this morning for the valley.  I wasn't ready to go until about 10am.  I had to do the winterizing, which is the pits.  I need to appreciate James a little more who always takes care of these things for me.
 Here are a few pictures of how our house looked for Christmas:

Before presents.

After presents.

James had asked Brian if he would go online and find us a motel room on priceline.com.  Brian did and when James asked him how much it was so he could pay for it, Brian said, "Merry Christmas."  We are staying at the Crowne Plaza San Marcos.  I am so excited!!

James, Sheri, Alex, and I went shopping at Sam's Club and then Sheri and I went to Target and to Harkins to get movie tickets.  

I was tired by the time we got to our motel room.  We are staying in room 214.  Here is a picture:

A most comfy bed.

We need to be at Sheri's by 7am so we went to bed quite early.
