Easter

The kids got in the mood for Easter by decorating some foam eggs that Grandma brought over for them. This was followed by dying over 2 dozen Easter eggs and getting baskets out for the Easter bunny to fill.

Easter morning is always filled with excited as they find their baskets. Ben was thrilled with his new Joe Mauer shirt and glow sticks. Olivia loved her new purple tutu and pink crocs for school. We tried to limit the candy to a piece or two before church. The Easter Bunny must have been a little lazy this year because he did not hide the kids eggs. He just left a note for Mommy and Daddy to hide the eggs!

                 For lunch we had the Knight family over and the Alms at our house. It was great to have  

                                everyone together and made for a very relaxing Easter afternoon.

                                       After church we did manage to get a few family photos.

 

   Ben got a cool new Lego set in his basket from Julie. Thomas sat and helped Ben put together the 
                                                          whole thing before lunch.

 After lunch Mommy and Kate did as instructed by the Easter Bunny and headed out to hide the eggs for the kids. Olivia was a little unsure at first but with Aunt Kate's help she was filling her net in no time.

 

  

Notice Ben is out in his shorts! He got a new summer Ravens outfit from Aunt Kate and even though it was cool and windy that did not stop him from wearing his shorts outside. We did manage to get him in at least a jacket but even that was a struggle. What a little hot body!

As a side note this is the new headboard in our room. My mom found it at an Antique shop in Excelsior. It was a 3 section room divider and Trevor just mounted it to the wall. I had been looking for something that looked like a big old door. This turned out better than I could have expected.
