Easter at Kathryn & Charlotte's

We're soo lucky to be a part of Kathryn & Charlotte's lives! They are always so good to cheer us on our latest adventure, acheivement, and give us support as we meet challenges. They love us all so openly and without judgement. And boy do they make each holiday fun and exciting!

The Easter Party last week was no different. It began in the front yard on the snow-free patio. Kathryn had come up with at least four different activities for the kids to do with hard-boiled eggs. They rolled them up and back the driveway. They walked with them on spoons, they held them in their necks...and i can't remember the other, but so very fun and creative.

The great hunt began and the younger ones (3 and under) scoured the front yard. The challenge was out back for the big kids. As always, lots of great treats and fun. Unlike last year, where it was very sunny and the kids were enjoying the melted chocolate, the back yard was full of snow. And where the snow had melted, there was deer droppings. And lots of them! Kathryn was very smart to send the older and wiser ones out back. I'm afraid many of the younger ones might have thought the deer decorations were chocolate too! :)

Back in the house, there were treats and snacks for everyone. As is the tradition of late, the older cousins snuck downstairs to their own retreat, the adults visited in the kitchen and living room, and the youngest of the kids were happily running up and back down Charlotte's ramp. Oh the fun!

Thank you Kathryn and Charlotte for all of your love, thoughtfulness, and excitement. We all love you very very much!

Ashlynn the model

It's such an honor to have Ashlynn the oldest of the Dale & JuLee Berg Family cousins. She's truly and example to all of her cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Ashlynn is kind, thoughtful, bright, fun, talented, and has a beautiful testimony of her Savior. She loves to play with her cousins, and is always good to look out for the little ones. She is a a great listener and enjoys helping wherever she can. We love her very much! Here are some pictures of her in a favorite outfit and her confirmation dress. She was the perfect model and it was so fun to spend time with her. Darling!
