Easter and Palmyra Trip

Here are some recent pictures from all our Easter activities and our trip to Palmyra. Everyone is doing well and trying to be happy despite being miserable from allergies. Spring has definitely arrived!

Ableskivers and Cherry trees

This last week was kinda crazy.  Felt super busy but not sure why.  We did go and see the cherry trees downtown, which was beautiful!  We also enjoyed ableskivers as per family tradition on conference Sunday.  Here are some pictures!

Always happy and smiling!

Sister time!

Alicia's Blessing Day

This past sunday Alicia received her name and blessing during sacrament meeting.  The blessing was beautiful.  She was told she is a beloved daughter of God, she can learn much from her older sisters and one day she will marry in the temple.  She was an angel during the blessing and didn't even cry, in fact Grant said she smiled at everyone.  When they announced she was going to be blessed I handed her to Grant and there was an audible sigh from the congregation and ah's when they saw her after.  All in all it was a nice day topped off with a great talk by Grant on grace.  The only thing that would have made it even better would have been family to share it with.  Here are some pictures.  They aren't the greatest but at least everyone is in them!

With her hat on, just for Grandma Claudia!
