Easter Sunday

With most of the Easter festivities already complete, Easter Sunday was all about getting their baskets and going to church for Jon's Homecoming. It was a great day for everyone. Roman and Capri loved their baskets...once they got past the clothes...and Karoline discovered plastic eggs that make lovely sounds when shaken. After the kids had gone through their baskets and were already full of candy, we got ready and headed for church. Jon did an incredible job with his talk and everyone was amazed at how much he has matured in every way. Way to go Jon! Following Sacrament Meeting, everyone including extended family and friends went to my parent's house for a delicious Easter meal. It was so nice to see everyone and the kids were in heaven to have their cousins there.
Karoline was only a few weeks old last Easter and so it much more fun this time around. She loved her new set of keys and discovered a love for chocolate bunnies...
While in St. George (more on that later!), we ventured to a kite festival/carnival. Capri wanted a kite desperately, but they were ridiculously expensive for the cheap little things. We held off and let the bunny bring her the surprise and she was beyond thrilled!
Roman was pretty excited about his new water guns. He had seen some boys at the splash park use them and so I knew exactly what the Easter Bunny should order!
The kids and their baskets that are already pretty empty...
Me and my beautiful girls:

My handsome boys:What really made the night was Karoline showing off her new skills in standing and taking a few steps! She is quite fearful and doesn't like to walk unless you are holding her hand (hence the only picture we got she was holding Cheri's hand) no matter how stable she is, so this was a big deal that she walked on her own!
A Hoppy Easter for the Nielson Family!
