so last month

Easter was so last month and it's old news. But it's impossible for me to move on and forget about posting our Easter happenings...I just can't leave Easter behind in the dust. Especially when we did so many cute activities like Easter baskets, an Easter egg hunt, dying eggs, and dinner at Sugarhouse Park. All new to Johan and Nadja. It was nice to show the kids our traditions and have them here to share in the festivities with Leila.

She picked up on the concept of Easter eggs and so loved finding eggs and sticking them in her basket. Except she wanted to eat everything inside them all at once.


Here's the obligatory family photo in our Sunday best:


Leila loved twirling in her new Easter dress...a tradition my mom did for the girls every year and one we'll keep doing. A new dress makes Easter that much more special.


Those kids are the most well behaved, obedient (and spoiled) kids ever. I'd totally adopt them and keep them forever if I could. Johan is hilarious and takes after his dad, always telling jokes and stories. Nadja and Eric are buddies and always have been since the moment they met (back when we were dating, not even engaged!). I have like 20 pictures over the years of just the two of them...glad to see their bond is still there and even stronger. Eric loves Nadja so much because her Spanish is the only one he can understand. Ha ha, she's the only one the speaks slow enough for him to understand. But Johan is another story, he speaks way too fast for Eric. They are waiting for us to go visit them in Mazatlan, we'll be there next summer for sure! Having family here forced me to speak Spanish 24/7 and was really good at speaking Spanish to Leila. Now that they've left I've fallen back in my old ways.
