April has been a very busy month. To kick it off there was General Conference. Bryson's grandparents came down from Idaho to spend the weekend. On Saturday night the boys went to Priesthood while us girls went out to dinner at Los Hermanos. Then, on Sunday we had lunch at Tyler and Leigh's home with everyone. It was nice to be able to visit and listen to the inspired talks. Leigh put these cute flowers in Eleyna's hair while we were there on Sunday. She is finally getting enough hair to have fun with.
The following weekend we got to celebrate Easter. Grandma Janeen had Easter egg baskets for everyone (even the married couples) hidden around the house and a yummy Sunday dinner prepared. She hid some eggs in the backyard for the grandkids to "hunt" for too. Eleyna wasn't that interested, but she really liked grandma's swing.
Easter is such a special time for us. Our family will always be eternally grateful for the Atonement and Resurrection of the Savior.
During Spring break we got to spend a day with the Durrants in Park City at their Marriot timeshare. We went snowboarding at the Park City resort in the afternoon and it was dumping snow-in April! It was a brutal day for a beginner like me, to say the least, but we had a good time. Thanks to Mom and Dede for being my bestest babysitters.
Big D (also known as my dad) stops by in the evenings sometimes on his way to/from the church and bishop duty. Eleyna loves reading books with her grandpa before bed.
Lastly, we got to pick up my sister Laura from her mission this past Monday. She served in McCallen, Texas. It was so wonderful to be reunited with her. She was a great missionary and we're so proud of her!
This is Hunter and I waiting anxiously at the airport for the plane to arrive.
Laura and Eleyna finally meet!
Hunter loves his Auntie Lala.
We also celebrated Hunter's 3rd birthday in April but I've got so many pictures that I'm going to dedicate a separate post to all the festivities. To be continued... :)
