Easter

We had a wonderful Easter! The Easter Bunny came to our house, although the kids weren't so sure when they first woke up. They had left their Easter baskets sitting out with the hope they would be filled and hidden by morning. However when the kids woke up, their Easter baskets were empty and still sitting right where they left them. For a few minutes, there were some glum faces even though they were trying to be grateful for the family basket that was left on the kitchen table! As it turned out, the Easter Bunny had gotten everyone new baskets which he had filled and hidden. Some of the hiding places were pretty tricky this year.

After church, Ryan, Sarah and Trevor came over. (The rest of Ryan's family was in Washington with Tani's family.) After a yummy turkey dinner, we had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard and then colored eggs.



Joshua was thrilled with all of his candy!


Ethan actually found Joshua's basket before finding his own.



Megan found her basket under all the winter clothes.


Amanda finally found her basket in a box in the pantry.


We especially thought it was funny that Jared's basket was hidden in the pressure cooker! (Todd and I had finally just finished canning 120 lbs. of chicken!)


Jared had a headache Easter morning so had a hard time really enjoying the festivities.


The Easter Bunny brought new flip-flops for everyone!



The big Easter egg hunt!
