Doug and Jess

We had visitors over Easter weekend!

Brad's brother Doug and his wife Jessica came up for their Spring Break. Jessica's brother is in law school in Spokane, so they stopped there first, then came up to Seattle to see us.

We are so happy they made the trip! They braved very snowy and scary roads to get here. Even though we just saw them in Rexburg, it's always nice to see family one-on-one without everyone around.

Because it was General Conference, we didn't have a whole lot of time to show them Seattle. In between sessions on Saturday we went to Pikes Place Market, Alki Beach, and REI (Because, seriously, what is a visit to Seattle without REI?).  Jessica and I had fun making dinner and talking while the boys went to the Priesthood session. On Sunday, Brad showed them around campus.

Unfortunately, the weather was dreary and cold while they were here. They were hoping to escape the cold weather. "Oh dahnitt," as Lainy would say. We had fun, nonetheless!

(Lainy has always had a special relationship with her Uncle Doug. Thanks for putting up with her!)

We loved seeing you guys! We consider you some of our closest friends. It's just a perk that we're family too!
