Easter Weekend

What a lovely Easter weekend!  We celebrated with my family at the farm on Saturday.  The kids enjoyed an Easter egg hunt.  Zach, Kyle and Evangeline went on a fruitless mushroom hunt.  Aunt Rita and Uncle Steve came to visit.  The weather was perfect.  It was just a wonderful day.

Here's a picture of Aunt Rita trying out what we like to call, Grandpa's Goodie Getter, a.k.a. black walnut cracker.  Dad's been sending home jars of freshly hand cracked walnuts.  What a treat.

Evangeline left this sweet note out for the Easter Bunny.  It reads, "Dear Easter Bunny, Every time Easter is here, I think of the happiness you spread!  And I thank you!  Sincerely, Evangeline"

The weather was super nasty on Easter Sunday.  The Easter Bunny had to hide the eggs in the house this year.  No matter.  The kids had such fun searching for eggs. 

It was next to impossible to get a picture of them together in their Easter best.  I had to say, "Evangeline jump in fast!  Jed's standing still!".  The stillness never lasted more than a millisecond.  Ammie took Evangeline dress shopping again this year per tradition.  She bought Jed's outfit too.  They looked absolutely adorable if I do say so myself.  Evangeline's doing a lovely job picking out her own Easter dress.  The girl's got taste. 

 

I finally got a few good pictures at church, but had to remind Evangeline how to sit like a lady when wearing summer clothes.  :)

Later that afternoon we went to Wayne and Karen's house for more celebrating.  Papa had a glove, bat and baseball in Jed's Easter basket.  He was thrilled!  The boys wasted no time trying it all out. 

Once again, trying to take a picture with Jed was quite a task. 

There was also a little birthday celebration for me, Savannah, Wanda and Ira.  Such a special day.
