What a weekend!


This weekend we were lucky enough to have Justin's family come and visit. They got here on Friday night and stayed until Monday afternoon. We were all so excited to see them, and had so much we wanted to do.


But you know how it goes...It started off with MacKelle getting sick. She was sick the first night they got here. She wanted to go to the community Easter egg hunt SOOO bad. I let her go. (mostly because everyone else was headed to town after the Easter egg hunt and she wouldn't be able to go there.)


 

Because MacKelle was't feeling good, she got carried (which, if you know my Micky, she LOVES to be held-so it was great medicine for her). We also got a LOVELY spring storm on Friday night (notice the snow in the background-so much for spring break!). So when we got there, they were just handing out eggs. The wind and snow were just too cold I guess.

 

Easter morning was better, MacKelle was feeling better and the Easter bunny came, so that gave her the eggs-tra energy she needed (in the form of peeps).

 

Trace seemed to have fun too, he  found his Easter basket under the sink in the bathroom, sneaky bunny.


And I tell you, that Easter bunny knew just what Mase wanted.  The basket is behind him, unnoticed with exception of the ball.

... I ended up getting sick the next morning...I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to eat ham again.
Here is MacKelle with Aunt Kylee. The kids LOVE their aunt! But unfortunately for her, she got sick the day after she got home. Trace also got sick that day. Justin just started getting over it too.

So, besides the sicknesses and the snow it was a great weekend. Dena highlighted my hair (which desperately needed it), we got to watch New Moon (again), had some good visits, got to watch some awesome conference talks, and the healthy ones had a fun trip to town.  It was good to see Dena, Paul, and Kylee and so nice of them to drive down and see us. Kylee is so grown up! I just can't get over it! Watch out boys!!

That really stinks that the sickies had to happen! But fun to be able to visit! Looks like Easter was a success! Glad everyone is feeling better now.

Fun! Sounds like what it's like when my family gets together. Someone seems to always end up getting sick and spreading it to the rest as they leave. Glad everyone is feeling better. :)
