Happy Easter 2012

Now, finally is our Easter Day!

Of course, the Easter dress! 


...and hair!



James parents came up and his little brother and sister. I made a big Easter dinner.

Took some pictures outside...








We went to the park to feed the ducks bread...


...there were a lot of seagulls there.

















Afterwards, we went to my in-laws hotel to swim in the pool.









It was a pretty perfect Easter.

Got Them Up!

They are in reversed order, but now that I have finally figured this out with posting these videos, I just don't care.


These are a bit long... just wanted to warn you.


That was our whole Easter Egg hunt!

Let's Try That Again


I realized that my videos from yesterday's post didn't show up. Grrr. Let's try it again. 






Well, one out of three videos is better than nothing.

Easter Eve 2012

Last year, we decided to celebrate the Easter Bunny and spring things the day before Easter, leaving Easter the day that we focus on the our Savior, Atonement, and Resurrection. 

We made a spontaneous decision to to go to Logan the night before Easter Eve with my parents, who were driving back home from the airport. So, that meant Easter Eve would be at their house.

With my lack of motivation and energy from this pregnancy, we just decorated our eggs with stickers and didn't bother with dye this year. It was still fun though.


So we got up and had our Easter Egg hunt in my parents yard.










WARNING: Long video.

Now, to the basket!




 Peeps.








We decided to go to Heritage Farms in Logan, where they had a bunch of fun festivity things going on.






One these goats gave my coat a tug from behind and startled me.


This goat started eating my mom's scarf. I don't know why, but seeing my mom in this predicament cracked me up. 






James wants one.


Sheep.




Baby pigs.






There was a reenactment of some cowboys robbing the bank.




These horses pulled us on a carriage ride.






Mom and Dad.


My tired face.


James and I got an amazing taco to share. IT WAS SO YUMMY.

The noodle company was handing out free samples of their macaroni & cheese. 


Yum.

We waited in line for this short train ride for 30-40 minutes. And it was worth it :)




In the gift shop Tali tried on this headband hat.


We drove back to Salt Lake mid afternoon.

It was a fun Easter Eve.

A Bit Of General Conference

 Yeah, I'm a bit behind haha. Just want to share a little bit of what we did for Conference.

We went over to our friends for the first session. They made Star Wars pancakes! How exciting!!  Atalia loved her Yoda pancake! Yoda looks angry.





Had some quiet things for Atalia planned like stickers, coloring these little wood cut-outs, magnet boards, snacks, no-mess finger painting, and beading necklaces (that one kept her entertained the longest).



And of course we ate way too much! 
I usually end up dozing off during one of the sessions, but not this time! That's a first. I was even on Tylenol PM (didn't have normal Tylenol and Tylenol is all you can take when you're pregnant) for that first session and my eye-lids were so heavy!  I'm proud of myself, that was not easy lol. 

Sorry, wish I could liven this post up a bit, but not sure how. How about promises of more interesting ones for the future? Yeah, let's do that.
