Easter Celebrations

Not sure if she's a Chip or a Dale...but she definitely looks like a dancer of some sort :)  She gets that from her dad!

Tori and her new scripture bag that was in her Easter basket.

Elaenia and her new scripture bag.

Laeni and her loot at Kim's Egg hunt.

Tori and her eggs.

Sora started to catch on...mostly is was shaking the eggs to see if there was candy inside, and then trying to get the candy :)  The finding part wasn't as much fun for her..but she was so small last year, this was her first real official Easter Egg Hunt!

Decorated eggs.

Grandma Shirley's Easter Egg Hunt was also a huge success!

Happy Easter!  He is Risen, He is Risen,  Tell it out with joyful voice!

 We are excited for the fun celebrations of Spring, but more grateful for the true meaning of Easter - the atonement and resurrection.  If nothing else, I hope the girls remember these important events from history, not only today, but throughout their lives.  That we can live again with our loved ones because Christ unlocked the door to death - in Tori's primary talk, she said she was grateful for the atonement and the resurrection and was grateful that she would be able to see her Grandma Weaver again.  Oh sweet, the joy this sentence gives, I know that my Redeemer lives!

Sora is ONE!

I can't believe my baby girl is already a year old.  She has been such a blessing to our family.  We all love her very much!  Even Laeni enjoys playing with her these days!  We had an owl party for her and she didn't really know what was going on, but if there's food, she has a good time!  

Here are some pics of her party...

Owl party cake.  The first thing she grabbed off was the Thin Mint eye ball...too bad we didn't get that on video!

Cute Sora Jane.

Have to have a birthday picture in front of the birthday ladder.  We just had to snap a shot before she could walk off the porch!

Sora wasn't sure why everyone was singing and staring at her :)

Needless to say, she LOVED her chocolate cake.  Chocolate cake with strawberry bavarian cream  filling was all over her face and tummy and paper plate...but she couldn't reach her tongue to her tummy, so the paper plate had to do.  She was literally sucking it clean :).  Just like her mama!

Happy Birthday baby girl!
