Easter Weekend!

We had a Fabulous Easter Weekend! I say weekend because we played Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I took some time off work to make sure I didn't miss out on any fun and I am so Glad I did!

This is our little Easter Bunny from the past 3 Easters! How have 3 Easters gone by already! Holy Cow! She is one stinkin cute bunny though!

Friday we headed up to Salt Lake for a much needed Girls day out! We went to City Creek which is beautiful! Not really my type of shopping, mainly because everything is outrageously priced and super "high end" I honestly wouldn't have paid $20 for 90% of it so the fact they were asking hundreds or thousands for clothing was a bit amusing to me! I guess rich people have to spend their money somewhere... I'd prefer them to make a donation to the Scott Family instead though! ;)

Gabi was such a good girl all day, despite the fact that it was freezing cold and snowing most the day! She is a lot of fun to take places because she is so well behaved and I love pretending that I don't notice EVERYONE watching her and pointing out how adorable she is! Proud Mom right here! We ate at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and it was packed. Had to wait 45 minutes at 11:30AM! While we waited we went to the Harmon's grocery store around the corner. It was the nicest, cleanest grocery store I have ever seen! The only disappointment to lunch was the fact that they RAN out of STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE!!!! How does the Cheesecake Factory Run out of Cheesecake!!! at 1:00 in the afternoon!!! Crazy!

Mom was being a bit crazy all day! She was happy to be with the girls!

These are the only pictures I have of us... we only got one group shot at lunch and It was on my moms camera, along with many more silly pictures of us!

We laughed ALOT! and it was such a fun day! Gabi was able to sleep for a while but was still exhausted by the end of the day, she didn't appreciate our laughter... I think she thought we were laughing at her! She always gets super sensitive at loud laughter, its cute!

Saturday we got up and headed over to the salon. I needed to color my hair and It doesn't happen often that Gio and I have a day off together and have the benefit of Grandma babysitting Gabi! I wanted to go early enough to catch a matinee showing of the Hunger Games. I read the book for the first time the week before so I was really looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. I really liked it but i want to go again because I was explaining alot to Gio who knew nothing about the movie before seeing it! After the movie we headed to My moms to color Easter eggs with Brittany and Dakotah!

Gio loved his self-portrait Easter egg he made last year so much that he had to recreate it along with the rest of our family!

Poor Gabi was exhausted! She had been teething all week to go along with 2 really busy long days. She snuggled into grandmas bosom and knocked out!

The Easter Bunny Spoiled Gabi once again! She still didn't understand it that much but she did like it more this year than she did last year!

Once she figured out they had treats she was good!

But she Didn't like that I kept trying to take her picture with these dang ears on! But she will thank me someday its become tradition!

Giving Dad Thank you Kisses!

All ready for Church in her knew Easter Dress! She knew she looked cute!

After church we headed back to my moms for Easter Dinner and the Easter Egg hunt! We didn't have as many kids this year so these four scored with a TON of Eggs!

Dad helped her most the time, she did really well at putting the eggs in, but she prefers to take things out more so he had to keep an eye on her so she didn't unload them all!

So happy!

Gabi found the most Money! Thanks for helping Dad ;)

Grandpa Bought a swing so that Gabi could swing at the park with the other kids! She was mad we strapped her in it until he gave her a push and she giggled the rest of the time! She loves Grandpa!

The last thing we did was the boiled egg races down the driveway, Gabi thought it was so funny to chase the eggs down the hill! When she picked hers up at the bottom she threw it over and over giggling like crazy! it was adorable!

Our Family!

I love Easter for so many reasons. The traditions we have made as a family are memories that I will cherish for all my life. I love any time we spend together. I am so grateful for our savior and for the atonement. It blesses us each day and it brings me peace in knowing that We can be forgiven for our sins and return to live with him and our families for eternity! I cant think of any greater gift! I love the knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I LOVE my Family! Happy Easter!
