Our Easter Sunday

On Easter sunday we got up and ready to head to morning church. It was a little hectic trying to get all our food going and still get everyone ready and to church but we all made it. After church we decided to take some pictures and they all turned out pretty well. The girls were for the most part cooperative so it went really quickly. Hallie was so excited about her "Elsa" dress and Gracie kept looking in the mirror and spinning saying she was a princess. It was so cute and I was pleased they both liked their dresses.

I love these 2 girls they give meaning to my day and made me a mom

These girls love their dad and get so excited when he comes home. We are looking forward to this summer when he will have less school and will hopefully be home more.

Part of the deal with the girls to take their pictures is that we would let them take our picture. This is Hallie's she did a great job. 

After we took a few pictures we headed inside to change and make a few finishing touches to our Easter dinner. We were really excited to have Kerry and Joy join us and equally as lucky that Chris made it back to Orem from California to join us as well. Joy brought the girls so cute bunnies for their gift...the girls love them. After getting everyone greeted and seated we dished up our food since we were all starving. Our dinner consisted of Honey orange glazed ham, scalloped potatoes, blueberry jello salad, deviled eggs, rolls, cinnamon fluff butter, and of coarse dessert...A chocolate cake with toffee bits, chocolate mousse, and ganache topping. It was amazing and actually gluten free(it has quinoa in it).

It was such a nice quiet dinner. We enjoyed visiting and just catching up. I think we have seen more of Matt's parents in the last couple weeks than we have in months. We have really enjoyed spending time with them and hope it becomes a frequent occurrence. After we got dinner cleaned up we played a game of phase 10 while the girls watch a movie. It reminded me of playing games with Matt's family before we got married....such a fun time. Then Matt was off to St. George and everyone headed home. It was a great Easter with many memories made.
