We had a last minute change in plans, to spend Easter in Utah. (For those of you keeping track, yes I have been there a lot lately) But this was our only chance to get our entire family together this year. Scheduling conflicts, jobs and school, are making this our only chance.

Thanks to a good friend, we were able to get some family picture taken, for the first time since 2008. (More pictures to follow once Aly finished with them :)

We took them in this amazing place my Mom found while she was walking. It's tucked back behind my brother's high school, and then you have to walk down a stone staircase, as you can see in the first photo. (not easy in heels), but it was beautiful, perfect for pictures.

Not only was my whole family in town, a large majority of my Dad's side of the family was in town also. We invited them all over on Saturday for an EGG-stravaganza! Lots of yummy food, egg coloring and egg hunting of course!

We enjoyed spending so much time together over the week. I know I've left out a lot of details, but it can be summed up in a small phrase, Family First. That's what we did last week, we put family first, and everything else fell into place. I only wish that every day, life were that simple.
