Happy Easter










We have had a fun Easter weekend. Jerilyn's two younger boys - William and Matthew - came in town to visit and London and Livy had fun hanging out with them. Aunt Jenn also came in town and all the kids slept over with Jenn in her room - lucky Jenn :). They watched a lot of fun movies in Greg and JoRita's theatre room, went to a few parks, and one day they went to the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium (I'm waiting for Eric's mom to email me pictures). They were able to feed giraffes and monkeys, touch starfish and sting rays, and they even went on a log ride.
Then today for Easter Sunday the girls woke up to cute baskets for each of them with some games and candy. Then Olivia had planned an Easter egg hunt for me, Eric and London in her room. It was so cute. She made baskets for each of us out of paper and then made paper eggs that she filled with candy and hid around her room. We each got four eggs and they had our names on them so that we didn't mix up our eggs :). She did it all by herself and thought of it on her own. It was SO cute and so thoughtful! Eric then made scones for breakfast which Olivia LOVED. We then got ready and went to Eric's parents ward because I sang in their ward for Sacrament meeting. It was nice to be with family at church. Later this afternoon we did our own Easter egg hunt in the back yard. London just follows Livy wherever she goes so Livy had to help London find her eggs - it was really cute to watch them finding the eggs together. Olivia opened the barbecue and saw an egg and London swooped in and grabbed it - it was too funny. Livy wanted to know why we just hid quarters and dollar bills for money. She was hoping for a twenty. I told her if there were twenties in the eggs I would be out there looking for the eggs for myself!
Another fun thing that happened today is London cut her hair. If you look closely at the pictures from the Easter egg hunt this afternoon you will notice London's hair is quite a mess. While Eric and I took a nap (we couldn't get either of the girls down for a nap so we gave up and we took one anyway) London cut her hair. Livy never did it and I knew it was bound to happen with one of my girls. She, of course, cut off a big chunk of hair right where I usually put a little pony tail in her hair. Of course, I just took both girls to a salon and had their hair cut really cute. London is so much trouble. Anyway, we have had a really good day and a great weekend. Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Love that Livy made you guys an easter egg hunt, she is so sweet. The girls look so precious in their matching dresses. Hope you are feeling great.

I remember when Eric gave Livy yarn and had her wind it up to find her basket...does he still do that?

Oh Great...now I'm dreading the hair cutting due to our recent rebellious activities...

What...Livy is old enough for braces? When did this happen? What darling matching dresses. They are too cute. Of course London would cut her hair...she is a riot. At least you got your nap. They never nap when you need them to the most. Cute girls!
