Happy Easter!

Brian and I hosted Easter this year.
I appreciate our family trucking out to Champlin so that we could have the kids at home and not have to run around today.  It is so much easier for us at our house- thanks guys for makin' the trip!

We started our morning with a basket hunt.  Hailey's was hidden in the glass cabinet of the entertainment center.  Hannah went looking for hers and after about 3 minutes, she was stumped.  "I wonder where he could have put it?"  I started to sense that she was ready to give up.  She appeared as though she was just going to start playing and if she stumbled across it, well-ok.
Me:  "Hannah, how about we clean up a litttle bit and then we can keep looking for it."
Hannah:  "Ok, what should we do?"
Me:  "Can you get some toliet paper for us and replace the roll in the bathroom for our company?"
Hannah:  "Sure"
She opened the cabinet and there it was!
Five minutes later she found baby Emerson's basket hidden in her room behind her laundry basket- no candy for Emerson but she did get animal crackers and some new outfits.

We had great food, great company, and spent about an hour on Skype with Kari, Andy, Kas, and Tin.


I really wanted to get a family picture today but Hailey was not real interested in pictures today.
This was the best we could do.






It was so nice today we were able to spend a good chunk of time outside.
Could spring finally be here?

Thanks Amy and Brian for having us over to your house. We had a great day. Loved being with the little ones and talking to Kari's family on Skype, too. It was a great meal and fun day spending lots of time in the sunshine.,

Beautiful Girls! Great family picture - so hard to get everyone looking in the same direction at the right time. We gave up too...
