Let's Get Together...Yea, Yea, Yea!

Spring has sprung and an opportunity to get together with aunts and cousins. Michael and I took the kids down to my dad and Alice's house for Easter. Saturday, the girls helped me bake and decorate a cake for my sister, Tracy's, birthday, the kids hunted eggs, and my dad grilled hamburgers and hotdogs on the Big Green Egg.


Here are Rachel and Haley's toes after a spring inspired pedicure:



Haley and Rachel made and decorated cupcakes for Easter:

They also decorated some hard boiled eggs:

Michael blows bubbles waiting for the kids to start hunting eggs:

Michael snuggles up to my dad:

Dad, you aren't uncomfortable...are you?


Aaron isn't hunting eggs, so he poses with a plate of chili. Noah, Haley, Rachel, Eve, and Tyler are ready to go:

Happy, slightly early, Birthday, Tracy! Happy Easter, everyone!

Great!

Anna and Harper just got their nails done together as well. I'm also glad to see we're not the only ones with the confetti eggs!

Here in SLC we woke up to 2" of snow in the yard. Your party looked more fun. Nice job on the cake. You are very talented!

The cake is very lovely and I am sure very yummy.
Fun times and fun memories.

A belated happy easter while I'm doing a major catch up on what I've missed. What a gorgeous cake you've made. And so nice to see your photograph in this posting too, you look so happy and healthy. Michael obviously has a great relationship with your dad, fabulous photos.
