Move by Easter....CHECK!

We did it! It was our goal to get moved from the Tri-Cities to Puyallup in time to celebrate Easter with my family and we did it! There were definitely moments where we weren't sure if we were gonna make it...but thanks to my parents, Chris, and a LOT of dear friends and fam, we packed up a 24' truck on "Good Friday" and were in Puyallup and loaded into our storage unit by Saturday night. Just in time for church with the fam Easter morning! I must admit...packing/moving while prego is twice as exhausting when not prego BUT there are perks because no one would let me lift a finger! I was strictly a packer & cleaner! I still can't believe we don't live in the Tri-Cities anymore...but have to admit now that we are back in Western WA that I feel right at home again, almost as if we never left....

Here are some adorable pics of our little Easter bunny! The hat she has on in a couple pics is just like a hat I wore when I was little...so even though it was a little too big for Hadley this year (and she would pull it off as soon as we put it on her)...it was really special for me and my mom to see her in it!
A special moment with Grandma Holly...

Hadley is "SO BIG!"

The next couple of pics are of my extended fam after church on Easter...this was all I wanted, to be in Puyallup by Easter and celebrate and relax with our family. SUCH A GOOD FEELING!
Had to get an updated pic with Great-Grandpa Frosty & Great-Grandma Donna

My sis-in-law, Amy, and my dad packing up the truck!
Way to get in there Johnny! :)

Chris bringing yet another box up the ramp into the truck...
pretty awesome they could get the truck ramp straight into our front door!

Hadley in our empty bedroom...watching her favorite "Baby Faith" video while we all worked!

Our 4 vehicle caravan leaving Tri-Cities...
I was in between both my parents - GOOD TIMES! :)
My dad only called once to tell me to stop following my mom so close...HA!

Getting over the pass

Almost home - love those Western WA TREES!!!

Hadley & her friend Justus watching Baby Faith again...while their daddies unloaded into our storage unit! Anything to keep the kiddos busy after such a long couple of days! Justus is the one who introduced Hadley to these awesome videos...she LOVES them!

Before we left the Tri-Cities, we went out to one of our favorite pizza places, Hubby's, with some of our dear friends...these were my girls from United Way. I will miss them (and all of our other dear friends in the Tri-Cities) so much...but know we will always keep in touch and make time to see each other. Distance makes the heart grow fonder! :)
Love you girls!

With all of our kiddos
NOTE: the 3 youngest weren't in the picture when we came to Tri-Cities 3 years ago!
