Easter and The Big 5

Easter was just a nice, simple day this year...I probably should have mustered up the energy to go buy everything for a ham dinner or something equally delicious, but it didn't happen. So really, the extent of our celebration was just going to church and spending time together. But sometimes that makes it easier to focus on the actual reason for the holiday in the first place.

I did have a dress for Keri she hadn't worn yet and somehow we convinced Braden to wear a tie that sort of matched...well, not really but at least it isn't the red and black one he wanted (which he put on as soon as the pictures were over). He also didn't want to smile for pictures (not really because of the tie, he was just overtired). Oh well. The great thing about the end of pregnancy is that you start to just not care about certain things!

A few days after Easter, Tom and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. Since my due date is less than two weeks away, we couldn't really go on a trip or anything, but some friends of ours did volunteer to watch the kids so we could go out to dinner. After we ate way too much, we went for a walk at the park and then went on the swings. It sounds simple, but it was fun to just spend some time together after a week of finals and busy kids.

It's hard to believe that it has been five whole years! It has been so much fun. We were watching our wedding DVD after we picked the kids up and were showing them us coming out of the temple and everything. It was so weird to think that in five years we've gone from newlyweds to having (almost) three kids and being near the end of dental school. Crazy! I feel so blessed for how life has turned out though. Tom is a wonderful husband and being a parent has been so fun. It's so great to share life with someone who knows you well and makes you laugh.
