Fun at Disney On Ice presents Treasure Trove

We had the opportunity to go to Disney On Ice presents Treasure Trove at the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix. We enjoyed it, especially Elise. We are headed to Disneyland next month for the girls' first time, so I liked that Elise was able to be exposed to so many classic Disney movies. For more information, see this post.

Easter Weekend 2013

We had a great Easter weekend. We spent Saturday at my sister Holly's house with her awesome family. In the morning, we went to their community's Easter party.

Elise and Savannah
ready for the egg hunt

Rylnad, Elise, and the other kids waiting for the egg hunt to start

getting bored

Elise and Savannah on the huge inflatable slide
I love Savannah's face in this one.

Elise liked it so much, she went again (out of turn).

snow cones!


Charlotte's was just ice without flavoring. She loved it.

awkward hug/head cuddle from the creepy Easter bunny

bounce house


waiting in line for hot dogs

Elise only got like two eggs in the hunt (age range for her area was up to 6 years old, which I thought could have been divided again). Some nice man working the event noticed, though, and gave her some more eggs.

hot dogs and Cheetos for lunch

Actually, make that just Cheetos.

Ryland, Elise, Savannah, and Hudson
crowded around the favorite toy

handsome Hudson with Elise

Grammi frosting cupcakes
(not technically Elise's Grammi since she's my sister's MIL, but Elise calls her Grammi like the other kids) 


Charlotte, Holly, and Savannah
Poor Holly was sick earlier in the day, but thankfully started feeling better  in time for us to eat and visit with her some.

Matt and Elise took a rest before Easter dinner

Charlotte and Hudson playing together

Jonathan is a master in the kitchen!

Ryland and Leighton "going to space"
Hudson copying them

Holly with her beautiful table setting

Easter dinner was so yummy!

Charlotte liked playing with this toy.
It's really supposed to look like a dog, but Jonathan called it a rabbit and Matt called it a bear.

Ryland ate his cupcake in like four bites. haha

In this picture, Hudson looks just like Leighton when Leighton was a baby.

Uncle Jonathan loves Charlotte.
She loves him too, but she was really tired when I took this picture.

Elise and Ryland swinging together

Holly's backyard is fun! Maybe one day we'll have a backyard.

talking to me about whether or not it's okay to put big rocks down the slide

duck-duck-goose

Love this boy!



On Easter, Matt played the organ and sang in the choir at church (he sounded great, by the way!). That meant he was there by 7:45am for 8:30am church, so I had to get the girls ready myself. We were late, but only a little. I thought the girls looked adorable in their matching dresses. And Matt is always handsome, especially in a tie.






Let's not forget the reason for Easter, our Savior Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful to know that my Redeemer lives. My relationship with Jesus Christ brings so much peace and happiness and hope into my life.
