Beautiful Easter Weekend

This Easter was extra special for me because I was able to have our whole family here together. Camille and Olivia got here wednesday afternoon and it was so great to see them. Olivia has grown up so much. She is so smart and sweet and tender hearted. She is talking really well and is so aware of what is going on around her and is so concerned with peoples feelings.
Katie got here thursday night which was wonderful because that gave us one extra day with her. Kellen flew in thursday night too which was great!
K.C. was expecting to recieve his mission call this last wednesday, (it would have been so nice to have everyone here when he opened it), but it didn't come. We were hoping for thursday and it still didn't come. Then we got to figuring maybe conference had set them back a little bit so we are hoping for this week. Bishop Burns tracked it down for us at church yesterday and told us it had been mailed friday!





































We decided to go up to Logan on friday. We all wanted to visit Grandma and they were having their annual "Baby Animal Days" event where you can come see all the new baby animals at the "Jensen Farm" in Wellsville.
















They let you get right in the pen with the animals and pet them and feed them. Olivia loved it.


























Saturdy afternoon Megan brought Ryder over to play with Olivia. We hid some eggs in the back yard and they had fun running around finding them.











It was wonderful to have all the family at church. Olivia looked so pretty in her new Easter dress.










































Then there was the Easter basket hunt. The Easter bunny was very creative this year. I think he was trying to get revenge on us for burying his basket in the garden last year. That was a good one.


The time went by so fast and before we knew it , it was time for Kellen and Katie to fly home. It was so great to be able to spend that time with them.
If there could be a little bit of heaven on earth, I think I had a taste of it this weekend.
