Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend with lots of family and friends! On Saturday, the girls got all dressed up in their matching outfits courtesy of Mumsy.

 After naps, it was time for an egg hunt with the cousins!
Daryn's eggs were filled with yogurt bites. Although, now we suspect she might be lactose intolerant, so in retrospect maybe that wasn't the best idea.
 
I have no idea why we are so grumpy in this picture. Apparently something was very concerning.
 
Then it was time to color eggs. It was so fun to have lots of Genevieve's family celebrate with us!
 Then a yummy dinner and off to bed so the Easter Bunny could come! Reagan woke up bright and early, excited to look for her basket. She found it quickly, with a little help.
Frozen and the playdo were the favorites.
 Daryn was not far behind and made a beeline for hers.
 Then we all got quickly ready for church. Lance got released from his very time-consuming calling and since winter was over, we were ready to let Reagan go to nursery. So for the first time in a very long time, we all went to church together and stayed the whole time! It was wonderful to be there, especially on Easter. What an incredible blessing the Resurrection is. It means even more to us now that we have a daughter with a very imperfect body. It gives us such comfort to know she will one day be made whole. We are so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ.

 After church and naps, we went over to Stuart and Gen's for dinner. Lots of food and fun, for the most part!
 Daryn had a little issue when she finished her food pouch and thought Daddy was taking it away.
 She was outraged.
 And shocked. "Did you see that, Mom?"
 Oh look a camera.
 There was a rousing round of the fishing game to finish the night off.
A wonderful way to spend a holiday.

Easter Pictures

Genevieve and I decided to get the families and go to Temple Square a couple days before Easter to get some cute pics. Unfortunately, it was a little chilly, and things looked a lot like this:
 But awesome photographer that she is, Gen still managed to get some beautiful shots.
 Daryn's face in one those last two cracks me up. She looks like the grumpy NO cat.




Thanks for the gorgeous pics, Genevieve!

A Quick Visit

Our sister-in-law Britta and nephews Cal and Ander were in town-ish (Park City) for a few days for conference and we were able to meet up for a quick visit at Temple Square. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time playing and trying to fall in the water.

So fun to see them and meet out newest nephew!

A Very Happy Birthday

I turned 25 on Sunday! We turned it into a whole weekend celebration. Tucanos with the girls on Thursday, then on Friday Lance and I went out for dinner and shopping at Station Park. Saturday I got to get my hair done and a pedicure while these cuties baked a birthday cake, then Lance grilled delicious steak for everyone (us, Mom and Dad, Evan, Genevieve and the kids) and we had birthday cake. Reagan waited patiently.
I'm the luckiest.
 Then we left the kids with the men and went to watch the Women's broadcast. So good!
 After the broadcast, Lance, Evan, and I went to see Divergent. So good!

Sunday, Lance surprised me with an Oreo cheesecake from the Factory, a card from him and Reagan,  and a bottle of nice perfume. So sweet!
What was left of my piece when the sugar overload really started to kick in :) The best birthday a girl could ask for!
