Easter 2014

We started Holy Week by coloring Easter Eggs! The kids had a great time dunking their eggs and Nora especially liked playing with her eggs!

 We started Easter weekend by going to Owatonna on Friday night! It was nice enough to bike to the park, so we played at the park at Wilson School for awhile.

Nana is so fun!

Nora had so much fun playing with Nana at the park!

Cuddles with Papa!

 The Bormann's joined us on Saturday and we started our day by going on an Egg Hunt!

The girls were excited for the Egg Hunt!

There is an Egg Hunt for each age group starting at age 2, so this was Nora's first official year to get Eggs. There were a lot of 2 year olds and since most won't go out by themselves, all the parents go out too. It made it hard for Nora to get eggs--but she got one purple one, which is exactly what she wanted! :)  Bishop definitely made up for shortage of Nora's eggs by getting a ton of eggs! The 2 and 3 year olds were inside and all the older kids were outside. It was a nice, sunny day--but it was VERY windy!

Bishop ready for his Egg Hunt!

When we got home we played in the garage-the kids loved it!

Cousins!

 The Easter Bunny visited Nana and Papa's--the kids were thrilled!

 We ate a delicious Easter lunch and then went to visit Great Grandma Marlys! There was another Egg hunt at her place. The kids definitely had their fill of candy!

It's hard to get a picture of us all together! ;)

Great Grandma LOVES hugs!

Cuddles for Great Grandma

 After visiting Great Grandma we headed up to Cold Spring for the night and to celebrate Easter with Grandpa and Grandma and Uncle Jake!

Nora and Grandma and Grandpa!

 Easter Sunday was a beautiful day! We went to Grandpa and Grandma's church at 8:30 and then came back to play outside before lunch.  The service lasted almost 1 1/2 hours so the kids lost patience and interest before it was over. Luke and I took turns taking the kids out to let them run around a bit during the service. When we got home we took a hike to the lake and then hiked to the "big rock" to play on the rock!

3 Generations!

The Easter Bunny visited Grandpa and Grandma's as well--and the kids got Butterfly nets!

"Fishing with their Butterfly nets"

 It was an absolutely beautiful day and we had so much fun playing outside at Grandpa and Grandma's-after lunch we came home and the Easter Bunny had visited OUR house too! Wow!

We were so fortunate to be able to spend the weekend with both our families! It was such a wonderful weekend!
