We have discovered that its too hard (especially with 2 small children) to take our own family pictures, so my really good friend Julia Fullmer agreed to help us out and take some pictures for us!

Easter 2011
Yes I know I'm behind! Easter was a long time ago. We were in Idaho Falls and had a great time!
Friday night. Putting her colored eggs in her basket for the Easter Bunny to hide.
Grandma Gordon and Crystal showing off their colored eggs.
Setting out baskets Friday night for the Easter Bunny to fill!
The Easter Bunny came Saturday Morning. He even remembered Lily this year! :D
Crystal looking through the stuff she got.
Crystal showing Lily the toys the Easter Bunny brought for her.
Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Papa Cook's House
Still looking for eggs!
Resting for a minute. This Easter Egg Hunting is hard work!
By the end of the day she was a pro at it. She searched for eggs that the Easter bunny hid Saturday morning, then more hunting at Grandma Cook's and AGAIN that night at Grandma Gordon's house.
Here is a video of some of the events.
This is a picture of the girls with their cousins. These are the dresses Grandma and Papa Gordon got them for Easter! I'm LOVING having fun dressing them the same now that we can get matching clothes in Lily's and Crystal's size.

The Good Samaritan
The most wonderful thing happened to me Thursday night. I went to pick up a pizza from Little Caesars to take to Ty at work which is a huge task when you have 2 small children. When I was little it was okay to leave the kids in the car for 2 minutes while you ran in to get a pizza, but now you get the police called on you, or worse someone tries stealing your car and taking the kids with them. Needless to say I went into the pizza place with my arms already full. I ordered a special they had for a pizza, crazy bread, sauce, and a 2 liter soda.
I had all if it and Lily in my arms and decided I was just going to have to trust crystal to walk to the car without holding my hand (don't worry I was totally prepared to drop the pizza if she ran in front of a car). Almost immediately though, Lily started grabbing at the sauce and crazy bread and I could see only disaster could ensue. I was desperately looking for a place to set things down to save the sauce that Lily now had in her grasp when a lady who was waiting for her order came over and asked if she could help. I gladly accepted. I was just going to have Crystal hold the sauce so lily couldn't get a hold of it, but the very kind lady offered to walk out with me to the car. I was so grateful for this lady's small act of kindness! It seems silly that a woman walking marinara sauce to my car would make my whole day, but it did!
(I know I promised pictures last week but our internet is too slow to upload them right now. We are moving to a different apartment in two weeks and will have better internet, so I'm going to have to wait till then to do it. :D)
