Easter Weekend

Easter Morning!

We had a wonderful Easter Weekend! I was able to catch an early flight home on Friday so I was able to spend time with Bishop (originally my flight wouldn't have gotten in until after he was in bed), so it was a real treat!

Saturday we went to the Froehle's and celebrated with Rich, Eileen, Jake and Father Alberic. It was a wonderful day!! Bishop had such a great time playing at Grandpa and Grandma's, especially with Uncle Jake and their "dog"!

Rich and Eileen used to have a Boston Terrier--and Bishop was VERY excited to see a "dog" at their house!

Finding his Easter Basket at Grandpa and Grandma's

Easter is my favorite holiday--I just love it.....I love springtime and the story--it's the best story!!! We started our Easter Sunday by going to church (just the 3 of us)--and we were nervous for how long Bishop would last. Of course the church (Mount Olivet) was PACKED and we were crammed in the last pew on the inside. Remarkably, he did great and lasted the entire service! I was so proud!

Sunday we celebrated at our house with the Bishop's, including the newest member of our family...Madelyn!! Bishop loves his cousin and kept kissing her over and over and over again. He was very gentle with her and very good, but I'm sure she could have done without a few of the slobbery kisses he gave her (she didn't seem to mind though). I'm so excited that they are so close in age!! Of course it was a beautiful day and Luke and I were fortunate enough to have some help with putting our new patio set together--thanks Dad, Shelly and Ryan (and mom for holding Madelyn)!

Bishop LOVES to kiss his cousin, Madelyn!

The Dad's and their kids

The Dad's biked to Maple Grove from Mpls, so the mom's went for a walk with the kids!

Great Grandparents Arnie and Marlys got to meet Madelyn for the first time on Easter Sunday, it was pretty special!!

We were reminded of how blessed we are on such a special day and Holiday! It was a beautiful day for so many reasons!
