Our Hippity Hoppity Easter

We had a WONDERFUL Easter! (And were able to celebrate it TWICE!!!! Woo hoo!)
On Thursday (9th) night we celebrated Easter with my parents. My parents got Hailee the CUTEST Easter gifts! They got her a couple little outfits and then a baby bunk bed! It was so hysterical because when we were putting the bunk bed together, Hailee wanted to be in it sooo bad! And eventually she made it in!

I'll fill you in... Hailee has been OBSESSED with her baby dolls. She has to feed them when ever she eats, changes their diapers, puts them to " ni night" and takes them everywhere! We thought that since she loved her dolls so much that they mine as well have their own bed too! Thank you Mom and Dad for the great Easter basket!

Hailee figured she would crawl in the bunk beds since she couldn't sit on it yet

Trying to crawl in the bottom bunk

Nope that didn't work. Ah hah! Top bunk is much better!

Friday morning the 10th we left for Utah to spend Easter weekend with Gregg's family! It was an exciting weekend....not only because it was Easter weekend, but also because we met his half brother and his family! It's a long story that I won't go into right now...but they never knew each other existed until this past December when Gregg and his sister found Chad! Gregg called Chad for the first time and it was so exciting for the both of them!

Leaving for Utah

We flew to Utah on Friday and then that night we went with Grandma and Grandpa Hardy to meet Chad, Kim, Maddy, Macall and Merrick! They are such an awesome family and we already have so much in common with them! It feels like we have known them FOREVER already! They are so much fun! We are so excited to have them in our lives now!

Gregg and his brother Chad

That night we had a great dinner, and then after wards Chad took us on a walk over to his fire station that he volunteers at! How awesome that it is with in walking distance! Once we got back, we dyed Easter eggs! Hailee had such a blast! (And so did everyone else!)

Ricky came down from Idaho Saturday evening to spend rest of Easter weekend with us! It was so fun! Definitely a special treat for us since he probably won't be back in CA till July! So we really were happy that he was able to come see us in Salt Lake.

Easter Sunday was great! That morning everyone came over to Grandpa and Grandma Hardy's house for the traditional holiday gathering. They made a wonderful brunch and then afterwards we went on the Easter egg hunt! It was so fun! I guess years ago they decided to put money in the eggs to get all of the adults to participate! So of course, this is something everyone looks forward to every year! Hailee wasn't too sure about it at first. There were alot of unfamiliar faces there, so she clung onto me most of the time. Later on she started to venture out on her own. Oh, before I forget! Hailee made bank in her Easter eggs! She made $41.00! Good job girl! Mommy and Daddy are proud of you!

Overall, we had the best Easters ever! We really treasure the times we are able to spend with both sides of our families. They mean alot to us and we are so thankful for them!
We are also very thankful for our Saviour, Jesus Christ and for the Atonement of Christ.
