Easter 2009

We were so lucky to have such a beautiful day this Easter. The day was bright and sunny, and the kids were able to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Always a bonus when they can get out and run off the energy the stored up all winter!

We started the morning at church, which was a challenge. Hailey and Hunter are usually in Sunday School and their little bodies were even more active than usual after their early morning Easter Egg hunt and gorging of candy at 7:30 in the morning! I guess we've been spoiled by letting Miss Lori teach them their Bible lesson with glue, scissors, and Teddy Grahams while we actually get to listen to mass ourselves!

After church, we went to Mom M.'s (aka: mother-in-law Kathy... lol) for brunch. I made a french toast casserole, which turned out really good, and we enjoyed eggs, ham, sausage, and cheesecake! Yum! It was all so good. Grandma made each of the grandchildren a fleece pillow. My kids have since replaced their bed pillows with these and the just love them. Hunter's is Cars, Hailey's is Hannah, and Ryker's is baby theme. Very nice!! They did the annual easter egg hunt outside and each child found their own color eggs- great idea so the older ones don't find all the eggs before the little ones get a chance! We took a nice walk around the neighborhood to walk off some brunch calories and enjoy the sunshine. It was a very nice relaxing day with family.

Despite our best efforts to pull back onthe candy this year, a little goes a long way, and we are still picking up wrappers and chomping down jellybeans. Oh well, it will be gone in a few days! :-)

Happy Easter!!
