Easter weekend....what a joy!

Well, this weekend we had a lot of Easter activities to keep us busy. First, we went to my parents on Saturday night for pizza and dying Easter eggs. It was fun! A great surprise was that Kelli, Kelley, Jason, & Jacinda stopped in for a visit. It was great catching up with them. They gave Z the cutest police raincoat and boots. He loves them and was caught wearing the boots this morning with his p.j.s.

On Easter Sunday, we had the Austin's over for our "traditional" Easter breakfast . We have been doing this for 4 years. They come to our house for a yummy breakfast before we head to church. It's a great way to spend time with each other and take some pictures before church. After breakfast, we went to church to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord & Savior. It really did not seem like Easter because I taught Sunday School and then Kevin and I had nursery duty for the 3 year olds during church service. The kids were wound up, but very cute in their Easter outfits.

We celebrated Easter lunch at my parents with my in-laws, my sister & brother-in-law, and nephew. Lunch was VERY GOOD and the time with family was even better. After lunch most of the guys took naps before the Easter egg hunt. Zachary & Elliott were super cute during the egg hunt. Zachary was very satisfied with the one egg he found . He did not understand that you had to put it in the basket and find more. He just wanted to hold the one he had. It was cute. To sum it up, we had a wonderful Easter celebration with the ones we love. We hope that you did too. Love HIL

P.S. Kevin is still sick with a very SORE THROAT. Please say a prayer for him. He is miserable!

Oh, I loved all of the photos Hil. Did Z get a set of fridge phonics by Leap Frog? Hayden got a set of these on his first birthday and he still plays with them. Glad your family had a wonderful Easter. Tell Kevin we're praying for a speedy recovery.

We had a great time too even though I was a bit rushed. Zachy finding egg(s) was my favorite part. I am glad I did not miss that.

Wow! You guys were busy! We miss you and loved the pics of your Easter weekend. Zach is so stinking cute! We need to visit so the kiddos can play, Riley would LOVE it. Carter is getting into playing with his big sis, so I think he would have a good time, too. And of course, the daddies could talk fishing! Love you guys! Mary
