Our Easter Holiday began on Friday when we headed up to Park City to stay at the Montage Deer Valley Resort. This resort is absolutely stunning and we felt honored to be able to have a complementary stay here. John received it after attending a work conference at St. Reggis ( the one I also got to attend two days before Camden joined our family). We were excited to take Camden with us and enjoy a little Easter weekend get away.
Our night started out with a dip in the pool. This was Camden's first time swimming. At first when he saw the pool of water we freaked out, but once we got him comfortable, he didn't mind it too much. It was indoor and heated, which was good because the Montage is at the very top of a mountain and it was only 35 degrees that night. Swimming wore him right out and he was pretty much zonked until we headed to dinner.
Doesn't he look soo cute in his shark swimsuit!
For dinner we ate at the family friendly pub and bar at the resort... they had wood fire pizza, pool tables, and a nostalgic arcade. There were so many kids and families, which we loved because places are always better when they are kid friendly. The best part about the little eatery was that there was a bowling alley! Yes, a bowling alley at the resort. This place was awesome!
After dinner we decided to walk out to the fire pit and enjoy the beautiful views and then it was time for Camden to hit the sack, so mom and dad could spend some time together. The resort brought Camden a beautiful crib, a diaper genie, and the cutest Doodle & Boo gift set...really?! Yeah...love this place!
The next morning Camden got up happy as a clam. We ate breakfast, got pictures with the Canines that live at the resort and headed to the outlets for some shopping.We were all so tired after, so we headed back to SLC and crashed at John's parents and watched Hunger Games.
Easter morning we got up and got ready for church. I couldn't wait to show off Camden's adorable Easter outfit. He was definitely the most stylish kid at church...maybe I am bias :) We gave him his Easter Basket with Sofie the giraffe, a rabbit bib, his Easter outfit, a chick, and a Peter Rabbit book. A Peter Rabbit book will be an Easter tradition every year for our children...there are so many different one's :)
The rest of our Easter was spent with family. First we enjoyed an Easter dinner with my side...gosh we miss The Horton's! Their kids are all so busy, that we hardly ever see them...they are always running in different directions. (grandma and grandpa and Cory aren't pictured...possibly because I was too busy taking pictures of these goofballs)
We then headed to John's side for our annual Taggart Easter egg hunt. It is always so great to see everyone on this side. Since Grandma Betty died we don't get to see much of anyone anymore, so I was over joyed to see over sixty people show up for the egg hunt...obviously only a select few are pictured. We seriously loved it though and also loved showing off Camden too! He hadn't met a lot of these people, so it was great for all of them to finally see him.
Our Easter was great! Lots of food, fun, and family time...just the way holidays should be. It was also a great day to remember the sacrifices our Savior has made for us. We feel extremely blessed to have the atonement in our lives. Here's to next Easter...when Camden can find his own egg! ha ha
