Bryan wasn't able to get off of work for Spring Break. Even though we missed him dearly, we had fun hanging out with all of our cousins and playing in the snow.
This picture was taken the morning after we arrived to Utah. The girls were so excited to play in the snow.
I had another birthday celebration for Kate at the roller skating rink in Orem with some of her cousins. I didn't really plan much- just bought a cake and told people to show up at one o'clock. The rink worked for all ages because you could have balance bikes, scooters, roller skates, or roller blades.
Grandpa and grandpa Koplin, Kim, Zander, Norah, Linsey, McCartney, Daphne, Ezra, Amy, Emma, Alice, Lucy, Becky, Alicia, and Timothy all came to celebrate with us. Kate even got some great gifts, which was not expected at all. She loved the LOLs, hatchanimals, coloring books, treats, and twisty pet bracelet. Thank you everyone for helping us make memories!
Kate never gave up learning to roller skate. That little walker was perfect for beginners. Watch her go!
We went sledding up at Tibble Fork in American Fork Canyon with Kim, Norah, and Zander. Jane was traumatized from the bloody lip and Kate would not stop eating the snow!
We were able to attend Alecia's baptism. Below is a picture of some of the grand-daughters and great grand-daughters of Bryan's parents.
My girls enjoying Alecia's birthday/baptism cake.
I took the girls skiing at Sun Dance Ski Resort with the help of grandma Debbie and Becky.
We enjoyed fondue at Erica and Jared's house. Erica, Ashley, and I get together about every 2ish years when I am visiting family in Utah. We were high school friends, but all attended different high school. This was so fun! I haven't had great fondue since Switzerland... just kidding. We also enjoyed a dip in the hot tub.
Mary Poppins Jr. was a hit! It was so much fun to watch Jane clap after every song. She had so much joy in her eyes and pep in her clap. We sat by Becky, grandma Debbie, Alecia, and Timothy. Mary Poppins and Burt were excellent.
I got to enjoy a day with Erica at Snowbird. It was the most gorgeous day and the mountains were so beautiful. Snowboarders and skiers can be friends! Thank you mom for watching the girls.
Fresh air and the mountains are good for the soul.
Kate enjoyed rock climbing at the Lehi Legacy Center. I even gave it a shot. Kate climbed with cowgirl boots and I have snow boots on. Very comical.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
My children asked where Lucky the leprechaun was and why he didn't leave them goodies or Lucky Charms? I don't even know who Lucky is. Mom fail. I actually didn't think they would remember and was a little bit lazy the night before. I just told the kids that Lucky is on spring break. I think they were okay with that answer.
My dad helped by making the girls green pancakes and my mom bought fancy necklaces.
My sister Kim also helped by having a leprechaun scavenger hunt at her house. When all the leprechauns were collected, the kids got a yummy treat! I actually like that idea and might incorporate that next year.
Look at that fancy mint chocolate chip pudding. I know my dad liked it!
Spring break has been so much fun. We were really busy and stayed up late most nights. It has been fun to enjoy the company of grandparents, cousins, and friends. Amy fed us breakfast one morning. We went over to grandma Debbie and grandpa Robert's house for pizza, pie, and a movie. So many memories were made and I hope my girls remember how much they are adored. Thanks for making this a fun 12 days for us!
