April 2012 Pt 2 - Mara's Birthday

We celebrated Mara's birthday on Easter with my family.

Karri made her a Rapunzel cake!!!

 

She got a lot of fun presents!

Mara's birthday was during Spring Break from school so the day before we went to the new City Creek shopping center in Salt Lake with family. 

 

 

 

We stopped in at the new Disney Store and got a magical birthday wish for Mara! 

 

 

We were about to take a picture when the fountain turned on and got all the kids! 

 

 

We went into the Salt Lake Temple visitors center.

I love this pic! 

 

Addi & Mara at the SLC Temple 

 

 

Best buddies: Grandpa and Jaina. 

 

We even went to the top of the Church Office Building. 

 

The view is AMAZING! 

 

Mara's birthday finally arrived. Conli slept over the night before 

 

Me, Mara, Conli and Karri went bowling for Mara's birthday. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The best thing about Mara's birthday was the addition to our family. 

We welcome you Zuma Bunny!!

April 2012 Pt 1 - Easter

Jaina was sick for a few days and actually fell asleep on the couch, which is very rare!

 

Also another rarity! Dad with all 3 kids.

 

Jaina figured out how to put Mara's flip flops on!

 

After watching Fringe, Xander made his own Scrabble board with words/names from Fringe!!!

 

Xander and Mara LOVE to watch Phineas and Ferb!

 

Easter morning!

I love Xander's bed head! 

 

Xander haul!

 

Mara's haul! 

 

Jaina just loved seeing 'stuff'!

'Egg'cited girls!

 

 

Jaina only wanted to play on the swing set! She didn't care at all about picking up the eggs. 

 

 

 

What a major haul!!
