So I just thought I would get a few quick pics before we went to go get him. This ended up being a perfect ideas because as we loaded up the car with daddy it began to pour and pour and pour!!
As we waited for Chris to get back, we were in this small auditorium with the other wives and kids. Makena was having fun running around. She laid down next to another little girl. They were on their tummy's with their hands under their chins. It was the cutest picture! I ran to get the camera when all of a sudden Makena jumps up and runs for the door yelling daddy!!
She jumped into his arms and was so excited to see him and vice versa!
So because of the rain I did not get a picture of them outside until the next day when Chris got home from work. He brought home all kinds of goodies for Makena. Del Sol is huge there. So everything he got her changes color. She got shirts, sunglasses, flower clips, rings, and nail polish that all change color in the sun. We are so happy to have daddy home once again.
And of course, these were popcorn trees. This is our front yard. She would get so excited to go outside so that she could see her popcorn tree. These trees are everywhere here and so you can guess how many times this spring we sang "Popcorn Popping"
Since Chris has been gone, I enlisted the sister missionaries help in painting. This is Makenas Tinkerbell room. This is only the start. Eventually I will get all the stenciling done I want. I just have to make them. Makena was thrilled to help paint.
They also helped me get the spare bathroom painted. Pictures to come on that one.
Because it has just been Makena and I, we have had to figure out more things to do. I got really tired of cutting out the same shapes over and over again with Play-Doh so we went and found some more toys. 
We have been having a blast making all sorts of goodies! 
My friend Jamie came over with her kiddos and we got to color eggs. Didn't get pictures of the kids like I meant to, guess I was too worried trying to keep the kids from making to big a mess. After the kids dyed them, the moms got crafty with the glitter and the foil. I had a blast! 
My friend Melanie and her daughter Annabelle came to stay a night with us as they drove through. Makena was so excited when she saw that she had the same pj's as her. Thanks grandma! 
Here was her basket this year. Wal-Mart had these cute baskets to go with Easter dresses.
It rained all day on Easter so we ran out really quick to at least get a picture.
For this one, we ran out took the picture then ran back in!
So I took a few inside just to have a couple. 
Check out these adorable bows my mom made to go with her dress!!
At least she was not completely deprived of egg hunting. Our playgroup got together and did a small one. It was to rain that day as well but ended up just being a bit chilly.
Overall it was a great Easter, even though we missed Daddy being with us!
