A Wonderful Easter!

This is a long post with a lot of pictures, just a warning. My sister and her family were able to be here from Utah. It was a fun filled weekend!



We had a BBQ at my parent's house.




The cousins were all able to play together.















We also dyed eggs, so fun!






Our little girl was sick, but she was a trooper and is trying to do better at letting people hold her and play with her.






Kate learned to walk! She is so cute, she just turned 1 last week.



Saturday morning we had a scrumptious breakfast of green chile egg casserole, stuffed french toast, and bacon! Sorry no pictures of the food.




Austin loved playing in the yellow ball!






We had some fun Easter goodies. Kristen made these awesome cake pops for everyone.

Thanks Kristen!




Little flower cups I made for the little cousins!



We ate a lot of Jelly Bellies!




Erin and Hunter




Andie loves her Dad!






Sauna, Mom and Amy


We celebrated Kristen's birthday on Easter. She ordered Cheesecake so I made her favorite Carrot Cake Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Cheesecake-Factory-Carrot-Cake-Cheesecake-114575



Here are some of the guys. They spent most of the weekend trying to catch the chickens and put them to sleep.





Awhile ago my good friend Stephanie told me about the Godiva Chocolate rewards club https://www.godiva.com/member/rewardlogin.aspx, if you sign up you get a free chocolate every month.

So, we signed everyone up online and went to the Godiva store in the Chandler Mall and got our free chocolate! It does not get better than that!




We also went to the Brookstone store and tried out their massage chairs.

I think we all could use one in our home!


While the guys went to the Priesthood session we went to Abuelos restaurant then went home and watched the Blindside. It was such a good movie!

Sunday we were able to watch General Conference http://www.lds.org/conference/languages/0,6353,310-1,00.html. It was awesome! The messages are always so inspiring and uplifting.

Easter dinner was amazing! We had ham and turkey with a lot of homemade side dishes and of course my mom's famous banana cream and strawberry pies! Again sorry no pictures of the food!

Thanks Sauna and family for driving all the way here to be able to spend a great weekend with us!
