Pretty in Pink for Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We had a wonderful day. Ellie hunted for eggs, wore a pretty pink dress, we went to church, and shared a ham dinner with Josh and Stacy. It was a beautiful day here, and I had so much fun watching Ellie really enjoy Easter this year. She loves jelly beans! And chocolate, of course, and hard boiled eggs, as you can see here...
This is her Easter basket and Elmo egg, which was easily her favorite egg :)

Daddy showed Ellie how to dye eggs. We didn't let her help this year, but maybe next?

This isthe classic Easter morning shot. Pajamas and crazy hair, gotta love it!

Here is Ellie in her Easter dress from Grandma and Grandpa Sailsbery. I made her a little bunny bow to go with- it is so much fun having a little girl! She really loved Easter, and we really enjoyed making it special for her. We had so much fun!

Spring Break with the Calderwoods :)

For Adam's Spring break, we went to Washington, D.C. and saw our friends Shaun, Rebecca and Ella. We had a wonderful time! We went to the D. C. temple, we walked around downtown Washington D.C., and we finished the weekend off at Colonial Williamsburg, VA. We had a lot of adventures, and ended our trip in laughter close to tears at our exhausted state. Having children does change everything, including how much can get done and how much energy it takes to do it. But it does also make it that much more fun! Watching Ella and Ellie have fun was the best part of my trip :) Here are some shots of our adventures...

Dinner at a tavern in Colonial Williamsburg with our whole crew

We really do feel blessed to have such good friends close by, and to be able to visit with them! The girls played so well together, and were such good sports the whole trip! With only several leaky diapers, many late mealtimes, miles and miles walked, and all kinds of weather, we definitely pushed them to the max! This was so much fun, and I can't wait for more family adventures in the years to come!
