Dallin's Big Easter

Easter was a big day for Dallin.  It was his first day going to church.  I gave him a bath and dressed him in a cute little easter outfit so he would be all ready for church.  This was the first week that we had been back to church since having him, so everyone in the ward was really excited to get a look at him.  Of course, halfway through church, I noticed that he had "leaked" through his diaper and gotten his clothes messy.  Luckily, I had a change of clothes in the diaper bag.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of him all cute in the morning, but this is what he looked like after we got him home from church.


The three of us went to Alpine for dinner at my aunt Heather's house.  The Blank cousins were also there and we had an enjoyable time visiting with family.  Heather's two year old son, Dayton, was so excited to see Dallin.  Dayton had been waiting impatiently for the baby to come play with him ever since he first noticed my pregnant belly and felt Dallin kicking.  Dayton brought out all his cars for Dallin to play with and hats for him to wear.  Amazingly, Dallin slept through all of the pestering.  We told Dayton that Dalling would be more fun for him to play with in about a year.

After dinner at Heathers, we went to Salt Lake to visit Grandma and Grandpa Easton (Dallin's great grandparents).  Some of Mckay's aunts and uncles were also there, as well as cousins, so we had a fun time visiting, and everyone loved drooling over Dallin.  He even smiled at Grandpa!  He loved having everyone hold him and he slept so peacefully.  He was especially comfortable sleeping on Grandma.


Even though Mckay and I are "adults" now, we got to participate in the grandkid eater egg hunt.  We managed to come away with almost $20 from cash and coins found in eggs.  Happy Easter to us!

Dallin met a lot of new people and traveled further from home than he's ever been.  And I think he handled it pretty well.  The adventure did wear him out though.

He really likes sleeping on his side.

I hope you learned your lesson about taking pictures right away when you have Dallin all dressed up cute because babies are notorious for messing up their cutest outfits! That really was a big day for Dallin! I love how cute he looks sleeping in the last picture. Awwwww!
