Easter Memories

We had a beautiful Easter day! Started off with the kids hunting for their Easter baskets, which the Easter Bunny hid really well this year! Even stumped Ben & Zeke for a long time! Of course, they stuffed themselves on candy and they all have their favorites!

Nate loved the Spongebob Crabby Patties, Maddie loves Nerds and Laffy Taffy, Ben enjoys Reeses & his huge Kiss, Isaiah isn't particular as long as the main ingredient is chocolate, Jake enjoyed the Robin Eggs.

Then off to a nice church service where Jake and I played Love is Here together. Christ is Risen - He is Risen indeed!

We headed over to the Oesterles afterwards to have a family dinner, but much of the family was missing this year! Cheryl and Mark were on a cruise, Nichole was at her boyfriend's family dinner, and the Gorrells & Townsends came later. So those of us who enjoyed Mom's great cooking were stuffed and laughed a lot because of how my boys smother Craig! They just adore him, enjoy teasing him, laying on him, and egging him on to wrestle with them. They sandwiched all around him at the table and he is definately still their "captain" whether he likes it or not.

Mom and Dad prepared an egg hunt (outside the perimeter of Ebony's electric line of course) and our children so enjoy it! It definately is a race, with a few of the older kids still sneeking in and nabbing an egg or two.

Then off to the Sinnaeve's we went. Of course there was more eating involved and more candy! The cousins played out on Grandpa & Grandma's porch and giggled and giggled! I don't know what was so funny about the swing, but they couldn't stop laughing! We also played cards which is always a lot of fun! I think that is one thing I'm thankful for, that my kids are growing up having fun with their grandparents - they are always willing to include and play card games with them.Thank you God for the blessings of FAMILY!
