.Easter 2014

Easter came and Easter went. Ours was so awesome… we had a few surprises this year too.

Snow was the first surprise! We got loads of it just before Easter weekend, and then it became so warm the next day that it melted away fast. Funny how that sometimes happens here at this time of year.

Our whole family had another humongous surprise when Tara and Tom showed up from Hawaii out of no where. Tom finally took a job here in Alberta! They moved back in the blink of an eye… we really did not see this coming, but we are so excited to see them way more!

↓↓↓Can you tell how thrilled they are to be away from Hawaii? haha↓↓↓

On Saturday Morning we got together for a delicious brunch as a family… We seriously love these people so much.

On Sunday morning we left early for Stake Conference, it was a great Easter Sunday meeting to go to. When we got home, Ames had a long Easter nap and then woke up to another surprise. A trail of eggs… (this is now his favorite thing in the world)

↓↓↓The Easter Bunny is so awesome… this basket was filled with all of Ames’ favorite things (books, play dough, cars, animals, bunnies and dinosaurs)↓↓↓

Then we headed down to visit the family again for a yummy Easter dinner. Yum.

↓↓↓Had lots of fun on our walk to the park too. Ames is obsessed with rocks↓↓↓
