Our Easter Utah Trip!!

Allen Family Surprise
When we arrived we first visited the Allen family in Brigham city! The surprise was a lot of fun (thanks dad for keeping it a secret!)! Mom was awesome to be so cool with the surprise visit because they were soon heading out to Jamie's house in Texas. We stayed there from Wed-Sat. and got to go to General Conference with them! Mom also made us a wonderul huge breakfast that still makes our mouths water. I got to go to their Enrichment activity also which was awesome. I loved being able to see the people in their ward and how they are such an important family in their community. We also went to Provo and saw Joseph, Jacob, Anna, Jessica and Matt. It was our first time meeting Jacob's Jessica and absolutely loved her. We went to Grandma Allen's house too! That was the best for me. I love being surrounded by the whole family. We had a great time sitting in a ginormous circle, talking and laughing over stories.


This is the only picture we got at their house. YES I KNOW, HORRIBLE and I am way ticked we didn't get the camera out sooner!! It is my fault, I know. I am the camera taker. Please don't shoot me!!! I swear to get tons of pics on our next trip there when we have more time with each other! The 3 days went by too fast!


Kunzler Family Surprise
We were at my house for almost a week and a half. We did so many things! Most of them are documented below but the things that I didn't catch on camera are: playing card games (that is HUGE at my house), going to Stake Conference, watching Conference, swimming in the hotel pool...probably more but I can't think! Thank you mom and dad for making this such a memorable trip for us. You sure went the extra mile and it was totally worth it! We LOVED IT!!!!

Easter morning! My mom stayed up until 2:30 am Saturday night sewing Marek's vest and finished our dresses. YES, she SEWED all of the girls dresses and Marek's vest. She just saw one of Kylee's Old Navy dresses and decided to copy it and make them for all of her girls for easter. She is amazing, I know. We took family pictures but I don't have those copies yet... just the ones we snapped from our camera. We got easter baskets full of goodies and Marek got a crayon holder mom sewed. IT is awesome, hard to explain, but most of you will probably see it at church down the road :) We also did our famous egg war tradition! Chaz WON the whole thing!!!! He is holding up his famous championship egg above. Dad and Mom did a great job that day incorporating the real meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it through a little Easter program that morning. We really felt the spirit and remembered and pondered about Christ's resurrection and atonement.
Other things not documented: Visiting my friends Hayley and Angie! Hayley had a baby 3 months ago- his name is Shepard and he is a cutie! Chaz and I enjoyed going to Costa Vida with her and visiting with her family afterwards! Angie is due any day!!! I was bummed her baby didn't come when I was there but it was fun seeing her big and prego! Make sure you post pics Ang!!! :) Love you girls!
