Easter

What a BEAUTIFUL weekend Easter was.  The sun shone gloriously!  The day was a little brighter, the earth felt just a little better...truly...all glory to HIM!  Christ is RISEN! 

*We visited my Grandma Keller in Humphrey for Easter. My brother, Scott, drove up Saturday to join us.

*Saturday morning my grandma, Matt, the kids and I walked to the park for the Easter Egg Hunt.  Following that, we had a hotdog meal at the new city hall.  Then, the kids and Matt snuggled onto sleeping bags and pillows brought from Grandma's house to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel at the city hall accompanied by fresh popped popcorn.  FUN!  Saturday night brought lots of games of Scrabble and visiting.

After the hunt the kids with their candy.  I liked the philosophy.  No matter how many eggs the kids collected, they turned them in for a FILLED bag of candy!  There were some good things in that bag, so nobody walked away disappointed!

Dying Easter Eggs Saturday afternoon.  Things went pretty quickly this year.  I am going to have to boil more eggs next year.  :)

Sunday morning Sawyer looking through the Easter Bunny's surprises.

Sawyer was on the run, right with the girls this year.  It was so fun to watch him be so excited and so involved with everything!

Before I explain the extra child in the picture, I do want to point out the church in the background.  This is Humphrey St. Francis.  Sometime I will try to take and post pictures of this beautiful church.

Our extra kid we've been toting around for a couple weeks is Flat Owen.  If anyone has heard of the Flat Stanley that many schools do, this is the project we've been asked to participate in for our friend, Owen Maggio, in Colorado. We take Flat Owen with us and try to take pictures of him with us doing things we enjoy doing or places that are special to us or in our area.  We'll be sending him back soon, but the kids have really enjoyed having Owen with us.

My Grandma...in her apron...in the kitchen.  Where else?  :)
