Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. We traveled to see a lot of our family.

Sunday @ Grandma Holst's House
Poor boy needs a brother!

Grandma Holst's Egg Hunts are infamous!

Look at all those eggs!

My dad and his brothers (3 of the are 6' 8"!)
Hunting for their Easter basket items at Gramy & Papa's House.




Saturday @ Great Grandpa Don & Grandma Kay's Farm

Ttitus' favorite was the tractor ride.




Hunting Easter eggs around the farmyard.

The men chat while the kiddos hunt.

Easter baskets from Grandpa Rick & Grandma Leeanne


Doing Easter Crafts with the Grandmas.

Easter Bookbags @ Nana's House
(the girls have spent many hours playing with these paper dolls)

Coupon for staying up late- pretty sure she used that one that very night!
Church w/ Nana and Easter Outfits

Why is it we can only get a good picture of two of our children at a time? Three just doesn't seem possible.



Spinning her dress- she is all girl!

Silly girls.


It was a wonderful weekend to spend with all our family rejoicing that Christ is risen!
 Apparently this is the only picture I took of our children on Ester morning. There are no pictures of our children with our family Easter basket. This year it was full of books to add to their Easter collection. They love their seasonal/holiday themed books. However, this picture does capture one of my favorite memories snuggling up Easter morning and reading about the true meaning of Easter as a family.

Our "New" Firepit

This year for Christmas Jeremy got a firepit. We were very excited for all the fun to be had with this new addition to our backyard come spring. Here are the pics of us using it the second and third time. Notice there are no pictures from its inaugural debut. This is because our girls were wailing that their daddy was burning all their special "snugglin' sticks" they had collected from our yard. But, after an initial disaster it turned out to be as fun as we had hoped. (until it turned blazing hot this summer)

Snuggling on the box.

 Titus LOVES hot dogs.

 Love this face!
 Love this one of Grace helping Faith.

Our first time to do Smores.


 Pinkys up. (Faith doesn't like her hands to get sticky)
