Easter Vacation

Happy Easter!

Well, so many of you have been asking about our Easter break that I've had to hurry to put this up! To make a long story short, we were supposed to go down to Kodachrome Basin, southern Utah, for our yearly camping (for us 'cabin'ing) trip with some friends, but since the weather had suddenly turned nasty, we decided at the last minute to head up to the Moyle's cabin for one last ski splurge. It turned out to be the best skiing any of us had done the whole year!

We played card and board games

We roasted marshmallows (Hailee's were the best!)

Of course we ate a lot! (Henry, where are the other boys? You look like a lost puppy!)

Garret, our Eagle scout in training and one of Morgan's best friends, did a great job of burning newspapers! Now, he just needs to learn to get the wood to burn too!

We skiied 'til our legs fell off...or they closed down the lifts, which ever came first.

Me, Natalie, and Jeana. Jeana just finished her last dose of radiation two weeks ago, just after finishing her chemotherapy for breast cancer. She's a survivor!!! And skiied for three hours straight this day! We're so proud of her!!

VALENTINES PARTIES

This year, I thought it would be fun to host a dinner rather than go out. So I invited some best friends over and after dinner we played the mormon version of the Newly Wed game. All three of us have been married for 15+ years, needless to say, we aced that game!

Then a week later, grammi and papa hosted a family Valentines party with delicious food and the best games. What fun!!!

Morgan invited Garret

OOGA-BOOGA game. I think Brian won this one!
