Happy Easter

Our Easter wasn't exactly how we planned this year, but we managed to still enjoy our beautiful sunny day. As many of you know, our dear friends were a part of a pretty scary ordeal on Easter Eve (read about it here) and we got a call at 1am to come pick them all up as they had been evacuated from their house. None of the adults got more than a few hours of sleep that night and as you can imagine no one was up for the sunrise service we normally attend at Skater's Cabin. The four kids did partake in an Easter Egg hunt in the morning courtesy of the Easter Bunny and the rest of the day was spent outside in our own beautiful backyard soaking in some vitamin D. We did manage to muster enough energy to head to church for dinner which was really nice.

Despite all that had happened the night before the best part was that Dane still thought it was the best Easter ever and here are his 3 reasons why:

"The Easter Bunny was here!"

"Kellen and his family are here and they got to have a sleepover!"

"I got just what I wanted" And here's Dane with just what he wanted...

Dane building the forest police Lego set!

Jaeger's favorite part was definitely the chocolate bunny!

Here are a few more pictures from our pre-Easter festivities....

And here are the boys practicing their egg finding skills. One sunny morning a week or so before Easter I decided to put their snacks in plastic eggs and hide them in the backyard. They LOVED this and we had to do it two more times that day!!!

I absolutely love this last picture of Jaeger Ray - look at our little monkey balancing on the rock wall.
