Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year. The warm temperatures were a blessing and the time spent with family was great. My mom came to help out with the girls on Good Friday and she spent the weekend with us. In an effort not to totally miss out my dad made the trek to Madison for dinner on Saturday night and then headed back home so he could serve Easter brunch at the club on Sunday. It was great to spend time with both of them.

On Saturday of Easter weekend we took the girls to an Easter egg hunt at the church. Armed with their baskets they searched some of the Sunday School rooms for plastic eggs filled with candy and stickers. They had a great time. Eliza was a little impatient. She just wanted to run from room to room. She got the hang of it though. We are hoping to make this part of our Easter traditions. The girls opened their Easter baskets from my parents on Saturday night. On Sunday morning the Easter bunny had come bringing the girls new Little People Princesses for their castle, nail polish, and writing books. We went to St Luke's for church again this year. The service was beautiful filled with a lot of special music. Eliza wanted nothing to do with sitting in church. Thankfully it was nice outside. She could run a little while I could still hear parts of the service. Emily did a great job using her new writing tablet and books she had already gotten for Easter to keep herself busy.

After church Kevin, my Mom, the girls, and I headed down to Janesville to celebrate with Kevin's family. It was an absolute gorgeous day. Diane made a great meal. The girls got to run around outside with their cousins for another egg hunt. And we watched the Brewers win. It was a great day. We hope everyone had a blessed Easter.
