Easter with the Evans family

We left my parents house and headed to the Evans for another hunt.  It was cute.  At the Evans' you have to find you easter basket first!  That is always a fun tradition I think.

Afterwards we went inside for a nice Easter Feast.  I ate waaaay too much that day!

Christmas Festivities

No joke, we woke up to Logan saying "Come look at my new choo choo train!!"  Apparently our hall blocking with the love sac was unsuccessful...

Notice the blur behind Mara?  That's Logan.  Most of the photos are blurry.  Neither one of them could hold still for a second.  Most especially Logan.

Sean worked Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  Super lame.

We had presents for the kids to open under the tree this year.  They thought that was super awesome.  We do one big gift from Santa and then wrap some from us.

Figuring out her Leap Pad with daddy

He seriously did this donkey kick thing in circles all morning.

Sean had the day after Christmas off, so we took the kids on FrontRunner up to Temple Square. 

Logan passed out while waiting for it to get dark.  We had walked a loooong ways and the poor dude was super tired.  While we stopped into Kneaders for some hot chocolate he crashed.

Mara was a trooper.  As usual.  So her and daddy went to visit the Disney store while I stayed and snuggled my sleeping Logan.  I'm pretty sure some people were annoyed that I was sitting there all by myself since it was super crowded....oh well.

Grandpa Evans works in Salt Lake so he joined us to see the lights.  The kids thought that was quite awesome.

We almost froze to death waiting for Front Runner to take us home.

Christmas was awesome!

Family Pictures

We got Evans Family pictures taken this year.  It's the first year we've done it since before Sean's mission!  I remember thinking that they were nuts to have me be in the pictures!  I guess it all worked out.  Seriously though, that sure was risky business.

Anyways, here are some of the kids.  I'll post others later, but I simply could not resist posting these.  These 5 kids are easily the most adorable children on the planet.  All of their personalities shine through these photos.  They are all so different, but so similar.  

"The boys" take good care of Mara.  She definitely doesn't have a shortage of boys to look out for her.  Kayden and Maddux have always been so tolerant of her girly ways.  They treat her like an equal and are seriously so good to her.  She is so lucky to have such awesome cousins.

I always wanted a cousin my age.  When Steph and I found out we were pregnant at the same time I was super excited for our kids.  Having them both be boys was icing on the cake.  

We couldn't ask for a better brood of cousins.
