Happy Easter...

& other stuff

Jason, Lois and I had a great Easter this year!  We went to church, came home and hung out together, enjoyed the beautiful weather and then went and enjoyed Easter dinner with Addie, Cameron and their family.  Addie cooked some delicious lamb and potatoes, and I brought the salad, bread and dessert.  We had a great time hanging out and talking and are so grateful for great friends here in Arizona.  

Also, this Easter season, we are grateful for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  What a great day to celebrate such a glorious event!  Jesus Christ LIVES!  

*Warning:  There's lots of pictures to follow.  I mean, I couldn't pick just one and because this is my blog, I'm going to post as many as I want!

My mom bought this beautiful little Easter dress for Lois and she looked a-mazingly adorable in it!  I just couldn't get enough of her.

Love that smile...

"Mom, why do you keep taking my picture?"

I don't think Lois is quite ready for a new little sister or brother yet (no announcement here...) She likes to throw her doll all around... 

And poke her eyes out.

Yeah.  I think we're going to wait a little while.

"These are my teeth and I'm NOT afraid to use them!"

My beautiful little family.

I love how this picture really shows the shape of her face - like a little heart!

Lois was in heaven during our Easter dinner playing with this toy kitchen.  I think this might have to be a future purchase.  Maybe her first birthday? We'll have to see.

Avery was diggin' Lois' binky.

Avery's little personality is as cute as can be!  She turned and smiled for the camera.  I love her little scrunched nose!  

Unfortunately, I didn't get any picture of the adults...

Kids are more fun to look at anyway.

Before we left for Utah, we had a little birthday party for Addie at our house.  Here's some pictures from the event.

I think Lois had a little too much chocolate cake!  

 She's playing here with her friend Jack.

I didn't know Callie had such an aversion to flashes.  She was totally freaking out, as displayed by this picture.  Sorry, Callie! On the other hand, the flash didn't even phase Shaylee!

Michael and Jack.  Notice the band-aids - love 'em buddy!  He thought they were pretty cool stickers.

Aeden was loving the chocolate cake!  Dee-licious!

Avery eating her strawberries.

I have some more pictures, but I fear I might be reprimanded by my friend Kat for posting pictures of her pregnant self!  :-)

Here's to great friends.  We love you guys!
