Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year.  The weather was beautiful.  Ryan and Abigail had an Easter Egg hunt at our house with some of their friends from school.  It was a busy time, and my house wasn't as clean as I wanted it, nor was the back yard, but the kids all loved it.  I need to learn to welcome children into our home more even when it isn't clean.  I was so busy with the kids I didn't get any pictures, but they had a great time decorating eggs, playing games, and hunting for eggs.

Easter day the kids woke up and found a not from the "Easter Bunny" telling them which rooms their basket was hidden in.  Everyone got ready for church quickly so we could get some pictures before Emily left, she had to be at the church at 8:15.














We went over to Grandpa and Annabell's after church and had a wonderful dinner.  We love to visit with them.

Abigail's best friend from Preschool ran and gave her a big hug in the hall right when we got there.  This made it easier for Abigail to go.
