March & Easter

What an incredible Spring we've had here in Utah!  The world has been in a prolonged bloom at a perfect temperature.

St. Patrick's Day came with lots of hidden green, pinches, and holiday food.

Some neighbors left these cookies from our favorite gluten-free bakery

Tennie turned 15!  I keep looking at her and marveling at how huge she is.  She is just about to pass me by in height!  She had a bunch of friends over for games and a movie. She planned the whole night herself and there was a lot of hyper energy.  She is so much fun.

We woke her up on her actual birthday with the usual dress-ups and dancing to the Beatles You Say It's Your Birthday.

We had a family dinner.

We've taken several walks through Temple Square's gardens.  Amazing!

We volunteered with the cats at Best Friends.

 April Fools day was big.  Adele and Ceci pranked and lied all day long.

They taped Tennie in the bathroom during her shower

We had a sushi night with one of Geoff's work teams.

We had an amazing Easter.  My good friend Saydi and her friend put together an Easter Holy Month of ideas, many of which we tried out.  It is a great resource!

We had a great Passover supper with some dear friends, the Najarians

We went to the morning session of General Conference and then squeezed in an Easter egg hunt between sessions.

Before the Priesthood Session we walked through Temple Square with family who had gathered.  (Thanks to Britt for many of these photos.)

Easter morning we woke up to two Easter baskets left by anonymous neighbors, and there was another one a few days earlier.  We have the best neighbors!

Through a friend we got tickets to the premier of Freetown.  The dress was "Hollywood Casual".  I had to look that up...

Phew!  That's it for now!
