Easter Day in Utah, 2008. We were outside Grandma Cooper's church building in South Jordan, Utah. Thanks for taking this picture, Grandma. It's hard to get us all in one. Next is family party time!
All the Coopers met at Marilyn's house for Easter dinner. Doug and Suzanne and their kids, Debbie, Jessie, Molly and Hyrum, Linda and Rory. It was a housefull! As you can tell, Mackenzie loved playing with her cousins. She still asks when we're going to see them again! Great food, great company. We went through the 12 eggs of Easter and reminded ourselves of Christ's sacrifice for us and what Easter is truly about. Mackenzie apparently knew more than I thought and piped up when someone got the egg with a nail in it. She explained to all of us what it meant. Both Dave and I were surprised she knew the whole story. She has great teachers at church and her Christian pre-school and apparently they taught her well.
It even snowed while we were there! What a nice surprise. It was all snowy white when we woke up one morning. Mackenzie was ecstatic! We all raced outside (after putting on 12 layers, of course) and made a snowman. Later on that day all the snow was melted, so we were extra glad we'd taken advantage of it that morning.
