Family in Texas

This past week we've had some family visitors out to see us here in Texas!! It's always fun to have family come out and this has been no different. David's sister Kimberlee came out during her Spring Break and we've had lots of fun going around doing different things. The first day here we were able to do a session at our beautiful temple here in San Antonio. I know I'm biased, but our temple is sooo beautiful and it's always a great place to go and worship. It was nice to have some company and to show off the stained glass windows of our temple. You can't capture the beauty of them in a picture, but when you're sitting inside with the light shining through they are amazing!!
There wasn't anyone around to take our picture, so we did this one ourselves!!

On Thursday, David's other sister Cynthia came out from Arizona to visit us. Her husband is here for a conference and I begged her to come out and see us. After making arrangments for her kiddos she was able to be here for about 2 days. On her first full day here it was 95 degrees and a little humid, so it was perfect Texas weather. We made our way to the Alamo and the riverwalk for the day. Here we are out front...we found someone to take our picture for this one.

That night we all met up in San Antonio for some awesome Mexican food at Papasittos. It's a favorite of ours and we stuffed ourselves silly with food and two tablesized desserts. Eating is a must on any vacation and we came through with that!

Friday we spent the morning sleeping in and recovering from our meal. It was nice to have the kids off from school and to have a lazy morning. We made sure we were showered and dressed by 2pm when David and Chad got off work and came home to spend the afternoon together. Kimberlee and I made a trip to the Canyon Lake dam and walked the dog along the top of the dam. It was a tad windy but it was stilll a beautiful day.

And finally, Saturday morning started bright and early with a couple early soccer games. The Easter bunny made his appearance the night before and the kids were candied up for the rest of the day. Here's McKinley acting very pleased with her Easter basket:

Chad and Cynthia have returned back to Arizona and Kimberlee still has a few days left with us. We're off to dance class and the orthopedic doctor tomorrow, with soccer/baseball practice in the evening. Tuesday I've got to go to work for a while and my sister and her girls come in that afternoon. We'll all hang out for a day and then Kimberlee has to go back to the cold in Utah. I'll continue to host family until the 18th and then I'll have to catch up on some housework that has been sadly neglected while I'm off playing. But you only have family once (it seems!!) so we're having fun!!
