Later that day, we celebrated Easter with Dave’s family.  easter 042Dave’s parents branched out this year and planned a little hike before lunch and the egg hunt.  The trail was just below our house and led to a family of 7 deer.easter 044 It was fun to see them, although the cold weather made things less fun. “We’re so ‘very lucky’ live in Utah;” that’s what I keep telling myself for every Spring day that it snows.easter 047Afterwards, we realized just how cold it was outside and changed our event to the in-of-doors.

Easter Sunday is the one day of the year where we try especially hard for a family photo.  We got ourselves all pretty and posed, and Dave set the camera timer up right before church. I, apparently, have a broken neck, but it was cute otherwise.easter 067

After church we were off to my family’s event.  The weather was so much better on Sunday! I think the kids had themselves a heck of a time, winding up with millions of eggs.easter 116

We tried really hard for a shot with all the cousins; we were close, but we’ll have to shoot again for next year.easter 103

Thank you, Mr. Easter Bunny, for such a memorable Easter.  We’ll remember your kindness and gifts all year long as we open Miss Kate’s closet door each day.easter 131

  1. That is one good-looking family! Really. I'm pretty sure you'll soon be contacted by the Ensign if you keep that up. I see a cover shot. I love Cole's face looking at that yellow Easter egg. He's darling as ever.

  2. Wow, you guys had a full two days o' Easter fun.

    I'm a big fan of Cole's varied facial expressions. He is getting some serious hair too!

    Your kids look like serious models in the pre-church photo shoot. Kudos to you guys for producing such cute kids.

  3. Kate and baby "Cold" look so cute in their Easter outfits! We didn't do a family one...didn't really want to document the easter GRANDEUR of my belly. So let's hit up some plans for next week. We leave Thurs. but whatever works for you guys!
