Spring Celebrations


Easter morning this year greeted us with several inches of snow! We were disappointed that for Alice & Claire’s REAL first Easter (where they would understand the concept of the egg hunt) that we couldn’t be outside. Rara & Papa did a great job making do with the indoor option. Marc & Frances and Ryan & I had to look for our eggs all over the living room, family room, and kitchen.Alice & Claire’s eggs were hidden in Rara’s gold mini kitchen. It was hilarious to watch the girls find their eggs, put them in their baskets, and then promptly take them out of each other’s baskets. They were adorable!But this was my favorite shot of the day...
Easter also fell on General Conference weekend, so Ryan and I enjoyed dyeing our eggs while listening to conference.Rara’s birthday was the week that Ryan was off of school for spring break. Marc & Frances are preparing to go on a week-long trip next month, so they have been breaking the girls in with mini-sleepovers at Rara’s & Papa’s. So Rara had a “grandkids sleepover” for her birthday. When Marc & Frances & I finished work, we met at Rara & Papa’s for birthday dinner.That weekend we had the birthday party of our good friend, Abby. Abby’s mom & I have been friends for many, many years. Abby was having her “friends party” at the Lion House – a luncheon more aptly suited for proper young ladies than rowdy boys. However, Kristin & Abby wanted to include us, so they invited us to their FAMILY party for Abby at the rec center! Ryan & Abby had a lot of fun swimming together. We do feel like family, but we are grateful that Kristin & Abby were willing to include us with their family party!
