Easter 2015

Cora had her first Cadbury egg this morning. Mama couldn't wait til after breakfast. (Whoops) 

As you can see, she kinda liked it. 

After worship at Grace + Peace fellowship this morning, we spent the rest of the afternoon with Nana and Grandpa. We had such a lovely time! It was filled with a wonderful meal, sweet gifts to our littles, a fantastic game of botchi ball, and an egg hunt of course! ;)

Cora's first egg hunt. Once she caught on, she just loved it! 

"There it is!" She would say, ugh, so cute. 

Thank you to our dear Nana + Grandpa for making today so special! 

Afterwards, we visit with our good friends down in south city. Where more eggs and sugar were in abundance! 

And quarters ;)

Thank you Gary + Jennie! 

Happy Easter! He is risen, hallelujah! 

Cora's 2nd birthday party in Salt lake!

One thing I've always loved growing up were our Berry birthday parties. All the family crammed into my parents house, my dad grilling hamburgers, my mama laughing or dancing, us kids running around the backyard. They always felt like festive adventures. And yesterday, my daughter got to have her very own "Berry" party thrown for her here in Salt Lake City. It was so fun for me to celebrate Cora's 2nd birthday in the exact same spot I used to celebrate with my little friends growing up!

Just for the record, Cora loooooved eating this cake. Just ask her Tia. 

Cora loved all her special decorations. She was so excited to see her salt lake friends + family, and an extra special visit from her two cousins, auntie + uncle, who live in Houston! (We planned our vacations to coincide) 

Cora recieved some pretty cool sunglasses as a gift from her uncle Brandon. (She wears them to be more like Haim, her favorite band.)

Cora's Tia orchestrated her entire party, from the invites to the decorations. A very heartfelt thank you to Sabrina for all your love and generosity!! Wow!

Cora recieved SO MANY wonderful gifts. My goodness! Thank you so much to all her family + friends who could come out to her party! We were so glad to see you all again! Thank you! We love you all so much. 

Meeting my new nephew for the first time! 

Cousins! 

~a very happy 2nd birthday to our dearest Coco. You are loved. You are loved indeed!
