Easter Weekend

What a fun weekend! On Saturday, Grandpa Skip (Opa) was in Fort Collins so Ari and Danika decided to visit the aunts and uncles. We had a great time visiting, which ended in a trip to duh duh duh.... McCalister's Deli! Imagine that. Opa ordered sweet tea and carrot cake for everyone to share.... Dani thought she was included- she got mad at Opa when he wouldn't let her drink his tea, so she grabbed it and pulled it on top of both of them! HYSTERICAL! Take that, Opa! Afterwards, Opa had the leftover carrot cake sitting in front of him as Dani was standing on his lap ...  she let herself drop and came within an inch of a facefull of frosting! We had quite a few laughs :)

Sunday began with a visit from the Easter Bunny... we opened Nate's basket first ... he got his first package of hot dogs he's eaten since we've been married, lots of his favorite candies, and duh duh duh ... drum roll, please ... rockies tickets and a rockies jersey for Danika. 

We headed out to a very early 730 service at Flat Irons Community Church- once again, AWESOME. Afterwards Ari took a much needed nap (packing Easter baskets takes a lot of energy!) and then they headed to the game. We made it through about 4 innings before it got way to cold and rainy for us. We got a few great pictures before we headed out! 

Once home, we had an all-American Easter dinner of french bread pizza and proceeded to open Danika's Easter basket. That silly old bunny brought her ... bubbles, her first absolutely adorable swimsuit and sunhat, a yellow bunny, summer pajamas, a rubber duck "pool" that moves toys inside when you touch the "water", and lots of good books! 

It was a GREAT weekend full of many wonderful memories! And the best of all ... Ari has 28 days of teaching left til she gets to be home with her baby! Woot!
