A Beautiful Easter Mourn

The Easter Bunny hid Avery's basket in the pantry--

Quinney's in the dryer-- {poor Quinn had a bit of a bloody nose}

And Hayzen's in his car--

After a yummy strawberries and cream waffle breakfast, we got in our Sundee best for church. We had a wonderful sacrament meeting about Jesus' sacrifice for us and the reason we celebrate Easter. The Spirit testified to me yet again and I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is TRUE!! I am so thankful for that knowledge! :)

After church we made our way out to Grandma and Grandpa Smith's house for a delicious Easter Sunday dinner. Grandma Smith gave the kids a huge stuffed Tiger dressed as a bunny, he is so cute and the kids LOVE him! After dinner, Quinney wanted to show-off his mad baseball skillz for Grandma and Grandpa.

Avery and Hayzen were playin' the outfield--

Thanks Gee and Dee for the wonderful dinner and the giant Tiger for the kids, we had a great time as always!

Grandma's Easter Egg Hunt

On your mark!
Get set!

GO!

After the big and little kids filled their baskets with all kinds of goodies {24 candy filled eggs, one twinkie, 3 cartons of pringles and 2 suckers each}, we did a little photo session. :)

I am SO lucky to have the best Mom in the world and 5 great sisters!

All the grand kiddies.

The little kids...

The big kids...

Thanks Mom and Dad for another great Easter Egg Hunt. The kids always have a blast and look forward to it every year! :)

Coloring Easter Eggs

Those are some good lookin' eggs!

"I hate good-bye's".

The end was near with this picture of the sunrise in Miami. Could it be, could our fancy cruise be coming to an end? I'm afraid so.

We ate one last breakfast aboard the ship in our favorite breakfast spot before walking very slowly back on land.

Good-bye fancy cruise vacation that we had looked forward to for 2 YEARS!

"Is that it?"

"2 minutes in heaven is better than 1 minute in heaven." ha ha ha!

Oh yeah, we had some goooood times! It was a vacation of a lifetime and I'm so glad we were able to enjoy it with amazingly great friends, the Hansen's and Shaw's. We couldn't have asked for better company or more laughs!!
"Come on Governor!" ha ha ha!

See you in the Caribbean in 4 years friends! :)

Our Last Day :(

We started our last day on the ship just how we started every other day on the ship...with a soft serve of course!

Then we played a little ping-pong. Are Justin's eyes closed again???
Shocker!!!

We lounged on the deck and soaked up every ounce of sun we possibly could before returning home to cold wet weather.

Up to the serenity deck we went for an afternoon nap on the hammock. I dare say it was the best nap I've ever taken. So romantical! ha ha!

This was our last dinner in the fancy Platinum Dining Room. We LOVED dinner time! Our servers were so nice and fun.

Kirk was a gem and was willing to sneak away from dinner for a minute or two to capture our last sunset of the cruise. Isn't it beautiful?




On our last night we were left with a heart towel on our bed--awww! We had already started packing up our suitcases so the room is a little cluttered but I wanted to remember it. . .

We got the most delicious drink at the last show of the cruise. It was called 'Miami Vice': half pina colada and half strawberry daiquiri. Yum-O! It was so good!

Up on deck that night they played Toy Story 3 on the big screen.

Good-bye big screen. Good-bye warm weather. Good-bye serenity deck. Good-bye "half moon"/"grand tuck". hee hee! Good-bye pina coladas. Good-bye twirly slide and hot tubs. Good-bye 3 course fancy dinners. Good-bye. . .

Sheesh, I could go on and on with all my sappy good-bye's.
