Easter

I know Easter was 2 months ago, but with it being the busiest time of year for me at school, the blog took a far backseat and now I'm trying to catch up!

We went to St. George the weekend of Easter.  This weekend kicked off our Spring Break.  Jenna had a blast!  There were cousins everywhere to play with!  She is the youngest one, but tries to be like the big kids.  She adores Jaicelyn and Jantzyn and thankfully they think she's cute and funny, so it all works out.

The first night there Grandma and Aunt Sheri prepared an Easter dinner for all of us to share.  It had all the yummy things Easter dinner should have; ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, salad, and jello.  It was so satisfying, especially for a pregnant woman!

After dinner Grandma set up an Easter egg hunt in her yard.  Since it was already dark each kid had a flashlight to use to find the eggs.  Some of the eggs were filled with glow in the dark bracelets to add some fun to the hunt.  Since Jenna was the youngest she got a head start.  She found a bunch that were right by the house in the light.  Everytime she found one she got really excited and yelled "I found one!"  It was way cute.  She ended up with the most eggs I think!

I ended up giving half of Jenna's basket away so that everyone ended up with a fair amount.  
She was happy to share with her cousins!

Her Grandma sure loves her!

Jenna got an Easter present from Grandpa!  He is a podiatrist and one day he was talking to one of his patients about Jenna.  He couldn't remember exactly why, he said it might have been something about what a smart little girl she was.  Well, the next time he went to visit this patient of his, he gave Grandpa this step stool he'd made especially for Jenna.  Grandpa offered to pay him for it, but the man refused and said wood work was his hobby and he was glad to do it.  What a sweet man!  I was touched by his thoughtfulness and generosity.

Jenna being a goof!

We couldn't get her to just smile.  
That just shows the character she has turned into!
