Aly in Seattle!


Erica's oldest daughter, Aly, is staying with us this week. She flew into town last Friday and will be here until April 10th. Kati, Ashley, and Aly all went to get pedicures on Saturday for some well deserved pampering. They are all such great kids!

We had Tani and her boys and Jeremiah and his girls all over on Saturday for the Dye Party! Tani's boys had never dyed Easter eggs before, so my teenagers had to show them how it's done! We brought out the crayons and had them draw on them and then dipped them in the dye. It was so much fun! I forget that they are boys and they tend to be a little rough compared to girls. Ella and Betsy would patiently wait for the their eggs to be dipped in the dye, but Preston and Jacob would launch their egg and 80% of the time you would hear it crack. Cutest thing ever!

Easter was a great day. We had an incredible church service on Sunday and I was so pleased that Tani and Wydell decided to join us for Easter Service. After church we had snacks and fun at Kirsten's house and BBQ'd the turkey. I have to tell ya... I was a huge skeptic about the bbq thing, but it had such amazing flavor! Great job Jeremiah!

I love family get-togethers!
