Easter!

I finally finished California so now I can catch up on everything else that has been going on.  I'll start with Easter.  This year was pretty low-key.  It seems like we are usually somewhere for spring break or with the cousins but Easter was late in April and didn't coincide with our school break.  And the cousins stayed in Minnesota this year because they only had one day out of school for Easter weekend.  But it was still a blast!

Saturday we went to the cabin to work on building and cleaning G-pa and G-ma's new place.  It is getting close to being finished!  The kids were great helpers at sweeping, wiping saw dust off of the new cabinets, and vacuuming.

Then we ate dinner and colored eggs at the cabin.  Always a favorite activity!

Sunday morning, the kids woke up and the Easter Egg hunt began!  The weather was really rainy and windy so we stayed inside.  They found most of their eggs in the basement.

Then they went on a search to find Easter baskets.  The Easter Bunny did a good job at hiding them because it took them awhile.  Finally they found them under Quincy's castle bed :)

They each got a "Pass of all Passes" to Seven Peaks, Trafalga, and local sports games.  Also a swimsuit with a rashguard/cover-up, some Girl Scout cookies, and all kinds of little toys and goodies.

We went to church then to Grandpa Judy's house for dinner.  Beside the unpleasant weather, it was a really nice day.  The kids seem to be grasping what Easter is really about.

 

The Easter Bunny brought Mom a really awesome Garmin watch that does everything :)  I love it.  It really came in handy the following week.

 The day before we left for California, we got pictures taken with real bunnies and chicks!  I will post them soon!  I am in love with will these Easter/Spring photos and will cherish them forever!
