My wonderful mother-in-law and friend, Mary, was honored by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers for her many years of service, including ten years as their International President, on Saturday afternoon. A tree was planted in her honor on the lawn of the state capitol and a plaque was also placed there. It was a nice ceremony and she definitely deserves the recognition. I'm truly blessed to have her and True as my parents-in-law.
True and Mary with state senator and family friend, Margaret Dayton. Margaret received the tree on behalf of the state.
Next it was off to a baby shower for Emily, given by Adam's family. She received so many nice gifts--even a diaper "cake".
The diaper "cake"
The real cake was masterpiece of fondant and chocolate cake. I thought the baby must be made of plastic, but it was created from fondant, too. This was made by the same woman who made Adam and Emily's wedding cake.

We ended our busy Easter weekend with a wonderful dinner at my parents' home. Adam's parents, two of his siblings, and two of his cousins were able to join with our family for the occasion. The youngest members enjoyed a fun Easter Egg hunt after our meal.
