Easter

I love Easter! I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ and all he has done for us! Spring couldn't be a more perfect time to celebrate His resurrection. The trees in our neighborhood are all blooming; the world is coming to life again!

On Saturday we had an egg hunt for our girls.






Grandma Dana sent them money to buy Easter clothes and these are the ones Luci picked out. She wanted to match with her sister.



These girls love each other so much! I love watching them interact. Yesterday morning when Clara woke up I brought her into my room where Luci was laying on the floor. She was so excited to see her sister. She pushed out of my arms, scooted over to Luci and planted a big open mouth kiss on her lips. It was such a tender moment! Luci couldn't have been happier.

Today my dear friend watched our girls for us while we took a trip to the Temple. This was the first time in almost two years that we made it in together. What a wonderful day it was! I'm so grateful for the Temple and for great friends!

Lately

This is what Clara has been up to lately . . . .

She climbs in and on everything! She's been quite a handful lately. The other day I was helping Luci wash her hands in the bathroom and I looked down to catch Clara playing with the toilet brush! I took it away, chucked it behind the toilet, thoroughly washed her hands then set her in the family room. Luci still needed my help so I went back into the bathroom to help her. A few seconds later I looked down to see she had the toilet brush again and was putting the bristles in her mouth!! GROSS!!!! That girl is fast and sneaky!


This is what Luci has been up to lately . . .

You probably can't tell, but those are Clara's clothes. Her pants and dress to be exact. I'm always finding Luci with Clara's clothes on. I guess I don't need to buy new summer clothes for Luci this year, we'll just recycle Clara's winter clothes.

Luci has been our stylist and critic lately. A couple weeks ago we were getting ready to attend the temple and Kirk was dressed in his white shirt and pants. When Luci saw him she said "Daddy you look really handsome, but you would look handsomer if you wore your blue shirt instead." A couple of days later I had my hair in a pony tail with my bangs pinned back. When Luci saw me, she made sure I knew I would look better with a low ponytail and my bangs swooped to the side. Good thing I love that girl!

The Barnes and Noble by us had a Fancy Nancy party. Luci got all dressed up in her fancy clothes and we had a girls night out. Afterwards the party we got hot chocolate at McDonald's. It was fun spending one-on-one time with her.
