Easters

Easters.  If you don't know why there is an 's' on the end of Easter, GO watch Nacho Libre...
anyway, as you may or may not have noticed, I am behind.  WAY behind.  Allow me to get caught up. 
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
Rewind to three weeks ago, April 12, my sister's birthday!!!  Jordan & I flew to Dallas where we then went our separate ways, him to Florida for a convention & me to Mesa to help the birthday girl.
Bethany needed help.  She was 8 months pregnant,
moving into a new house that was a foreclosure and in need of a lot of work.  Since I am the designated painter in the family & I fly free, I was happy to do my part.  Jordan joined me there Easter weekend so we could participate in the celebration of a very happy couple, Jordan's little brother Stephen & his new wife, Ginny.
Their reception was fabulous,
 her dress was gorgeous, & we were so happy we could see them be sealed for time and all eternity.
 Easter consisted of going to church, Deviled Eggs,
 Grilled Salmon, Lemon Passion Cake,
& an  Easter Egg Hunt!!!
First the littles get a head start...
then their older BIGGER siblings join them.
When the hunt was completed, consuming the candy began.  Oh, & Uncle Ben looking around for generous little hands.
I did many other things while visiting Mesa, not all were captured on film. 
We dined at a yummy Thai place in Gilbert with Jordan's siblings...twice!
Jordan & I saw
which was, eh.
I got a pedicure.
I had a girls night with my mom & Beth.  {A much needed break from all the painting!}
We saw
which I really liked.
Mostly I painted, but I will put the three weeks of slavedom in a separate blog post {mostly for you, Elyce ;) }.
It was wonderful to see all of our loved ones.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
 Until next time...
