The kids had spring break the first week of April. We didn't plan well, so we only went out of town Thursday afternoon through Sunday.
But we did enjoy our time at home. Playing with friends, watching TV, and visiting Nana.
Thursday afternoon, we took the girls to the Provo Rec Center. We decided to brave taking Jules and it went pretty well. We definitely ended up leaving earlier than we would have before she was born, but she was really good, considering.
Friday through Sunday we went to St. George. We hiked in the Red Cliffs recreation area first.
The water was mountain run off and freezing. But the kids all got in -- in their only clothes.
The weather was in the 70s and perfect the whole weekend.
It was General Conference weekend, so we watched that with family.
It was a good relaxing weekend.
Cecily drew these one day. I am so super impressed with her artistic skill lately.
I arranged these flowers for my friend who's going through a hard time lately and dropped them off one day.
I also made this bib before we went down to St. George. She's been so super drooly lately.
I didn't do a party on Mira's birthday. We were in the midst of Marie Kondoing and spring break and all sorts of goings on, so we finally had her birthday party on the 15th. It was a tea party and it was so much fun to put together.
Mira was baptized on the 14th. There were 4 other girls that all got baptized that day. AND Dylan was baptized that day.
After everyone left, I started going through my fabric and craft supplies. It took all afternoon just to go through the fabric. It's not that choosing what to keep or give away that was so hard. It was deciding how to organize it after.
I love the faces Jules makes. She cracks me up all the time.
I also designed Alison's wedding invitation this last week. Did I tell you I took her invitation photos, too. I think they turned out really good.
Friday, Cecily had a field trip to the zoo and Steve was able to go with her. He took a 1/2 day off at work and the two of them had a lot of fun. I was feeling bored and stuck in the house, though, so Friday night, we got takeout and took it to a park. Then we went to the used book store and let the kids pick out some books. Mira read a bunch of books to Cecily so she would know what she wanted to buy. It was so sweet.
I did Easter baskets on Saturday so I could keep the Easter Bunny separate from the celebration of Christ's resurrection.
Then Saturday night, I took Emilia out on a mother-daughter date to Fiiz drinks. We got "dirty" drinks, macarons, and a red velvet cookie. Emilia loved the massive amounts of sugar, obviously.
Such pretty girls on Easter morning.
And now we're at my parents house, eating ham, potatoes, jello, cheesecake, and Easter egg candy. It's been a good day. *sigh*
