Easter Festivities

We had a very exciting Easter this year. We decided to bless our little Alexis Brielle over in Idaho Falls on Easter Sunday. It was nice to have all of Kyle's family with us for it, and my parents even traveled over there to be there too! She looked beautiful on her special day, and she was able to meet some of her aunts, uncles, cousins, and great grandparents for the first time. Kyle gave her a beautiful blessing, and we had some yummy food after to celebrate. It was the cutest thing ever, to see the kids play and hunt eggs with their cousins. At one point Kylie and her cousin Hailey (who is a few years older) were sitting at the table looking at all of their treasures from the hunt, and Hailey said to Kylie....."isn't this just the best day". We all smiled at how sweet it was! It really was a great day, and the weather was nice too. Here are some pictures of our festivities.....

We had so much fun! It was wonderful to spend Easter with the family.Thanks again to Ty and Sandra for letting us celebrate at their house, and for all the delicious food! We are so grateful to have Lexi in our lives, and we will always remember this day. She is such a sweetheart, and we love her to pieces!

The Easter Train!!!

Grammy and grandpa treated us all to a ride on the easter train, the day before we headed over to Idaho Falls. It was soo much fun. We are already looking forward to the pumpkin, and Christmas rides. We started in Horseshoe bend, and went up to banks for an egg hunt. It was really pretty up there. Kylie and Carson had the best time. Carson was yelling with excitement when the train started. The easter bunny was even there. She walked up and down the cars and handed out treats to all the kids. Kylie and Carson really warmed up to her by the end of the ride.
