Callie's Baptism Day!

 My parents, Taylor's family, and Sydney and Baylee were able to come to Callie's baptism.  She was so happy they could be here.

 Britney and Andy had to go to a wedding in Utah so we watched their girls.  It was fun to have them here.

 Callie was baptized with 2 othere girls.  She was luck #1.  The Primary President gave them a scrapbook page to help them remember this special day.  My mom gave Callie a beautiful pearl necklace, a towel with her name embroidered on it and a cute poem to go with it.

We had a luncheon afterwards with family. I displayed some baptism pictures.

Callie's 8th Spa Birthday Party

 The invitations I found on Pinterest!  Loved them.

 Taylor and I met Callie at school on Friday and brought her Subway and ate lunch together.

Edible nail polish!  Marshmallows dipped in white chocolate and a tootsie roll with a toothpick stuck on top.  Pinterest find.

Assortment of candy, gum, and pink white chocolate popcorn!

 The girls soaked their feet in bath salts first and then I started the pedicures.

I needed an extra hand to paint 9 girls toes!  They didn't want to sit still long enough for them to dry.  Several of the girls toes messed up and I had to fix them.  

 Ella, Sadie, Andie, Callie, Emily, Maddie, and Allie, missing Addalynn and Grace

 Eating homemade pizza and breadsticks!

Everyone's beautiful toes.  

The girls also did facials.  I bought a pomegranate peel mask and they said it hurt and they were nervous to peel them off.  It was kind of a disaster!  All watching Barbie and the Popstar! 

 The lopsided Nail polish cake!  It was cute but not one girl wanted any.  After all the hard work I was kind of mad.  We are still eating left over cake.

Callie loves dogs.

Easter 2013

 It was really cloudy right before we went outside to take pictures.  So not many good photos with eyes opened.

 I didn't do matching this year but the colors of Callie and Paige were similar.



We had Taylor's parents and siblings over for Easter dinner.  We enjoyed twice baked potatoes, turkey breast, rolls, strawberry salad and strawberry meringue cake.  Delicious.

 All the younger cousins ready to do an Easter egg hunt.
