I got to see Whitney and Joan shortly after arriving in Boise. This was the first time I'd seen Whitney since her return home after her mission. She is as beautiful and amazing as ever! I'm so excited to see what unfolds next for Whitney. I'm her biggest fan!
A lovely lunch at Cheesecake Factory (I stole this photo from Joan's blog-- thanks Joanie!)
There was LOTS of cousin play time. Eloise was in heaven!

Bath time at Grammy's is so much fun!
Rhonda had us all over Monday night for a big birthday bash and swimming party. We honored all of our recent (and soon to be coming) family birthdays. It was fun to have a birthday celebration for Eloise!
Coronation of the birthday girl. The cute outfit was a gift from Grammy.

Eloise isn't sure what to think about this!
After the first bite. And, yes, she is tied to a chair with a towel. Well, what would you do without a highchair?!
One of the days we went swimming at the YMCA. The kids had a BLAST!
Mommy and Eloise at the 'Y'
The facility was awesome: see the fountains and the water ride in the back?
Thursday night Grandpa Putnam treated us to a Mexican feast. Yum!

On Friday we had a great early Easter celebration. The kids dyed eggs, and late in the day we had an Easter Egg Hunt:

We ended the day with a delicious Easter Feast. I'm so grateful for that week spent with my family in Idaho. A big thanks to Mom and Dad for hosting the bedlam.
What wonderful bedlam! Looks like a blast! Sure do love that family. ;)
