Two weeks ago was quite the week! St. Patrick's Day, my birthday, then Easter! Too many sweet days all close to each other. The girls I work with took me out to lunch at the Olive Garden (thanks DeeAura and Lindsay!); I went to the in-laws and had a wonderful salmon/bacon wrapped asparagus/Macaroni Bread meal; came home to cake and ice cream with some family and friends. It was a wonderful birthday and even though I am away from the majority of my good friends, you all still made it special with your calls, emails, and cards. So thank you!
This is a homemade cake by Anne and Rachel...notice the stars!! =)
The table decor (in my family, we always put our cards on the mantle of the fireplace and then our gifts on a table; so this was my version of the mantle and table from growing up)This week also brought Easter. It was a wonderful day and we were reminded of our Savior and all that he did for us. We are thankful every day to be members of this church and all of the blessings and opportunities that we are given. We got together with my sisters, brother in law, Kristine Taylor, Kimber Giles, Rachel Gilman, and Brenna, Peter and her brother. At this time next year, I will be the only one in Utah (Anne/Carson-TX, Kristine-PA/somewhere else, Kimber-London (getting married!!), Rachel G.-mission, Rachel H.-PA/somewhere else) so it was a very special day for us to spend together. We were also able to stop off at Drew's grandparents for a little bit to spend some time with them for Easter. Our dinner was FABULOUS! Quite the group effort-Bread/Mozzarella appetizer, Ham, Funeral Potatoes, Salad (with homemade croutons), Taylor rolls, and Poppy seed cake for dessert. We also had our own Easter Egg hunt and dyed eggs. It was a wonderful Easter!

The ham! The first one I've ever made! Costco...has a wonderful ham!
Kristine, Rachel G. and Rachel H. with a baseball egg! (we bought a sports fanatic dye kit for the boys, but the girls still seemed to have more fun with it) =)
Me with two of my eggs
Rachel and the dessert...with her new short hair! Female broadcasters have to have short hair...crazy but I still think she looks cut with this haircut!

The boys with their Cougar Football eggs...the highlight of their dying experience.
