Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend; spent at home. It was nice to just be home and not feel like we were running all over. Our Easter celebrations started with an Easter egg hunt at one of Addison's friends churches. Unfortunatly, Addison got into some trouble shortly before leaving and did not get to participate. Olivia, however, had a great time searching for Easter eggs and loose candy on the ground. Depending on how many children were participating in each age group determined how many eggs the kids got. Liv got to find 11 eggs, and pick up all the loose candy she wanted. Dad wanted her to find as many Reese's Peanut Butter eggs as she could!! After lunch we tried to head to the Heartland Events Center for a Family Fun Day. Turned out they were overwhelmed with the response, ran out of food, ran out of goodie bags and we never made it in. We wasted some time at the mall and then headed home for a warm Easter dinner.

On Easter morning while we were at church, the Easter bunny came and hid eggs and a few gifts and baskets for the girls. Poor Ella, she just got to watch!! The Easter bunny thought she was too young to participate!! We went out for breakfast following church and then home to start the egg search! Naps and then outside to play before Grammy had to head for home. A great weekend was had by all and we are so blessed with our 3 beautiful miracles. They are the reason I can get out of bed in the morning, and the reason I can lay my head down at night with a heart full of thanksgiving. I am constantly reminded of how awesome each one of them is, and the true miracle they are.

Our goal for this summer after this weekend is to get Addison more comfortable riding her bike. She is still learning to pedal and learning to not be so distracted. The little boy down the street has learned to ride his bike without his training wheels and he JUST turned 4!!! Nothing like a little neighborly competition!! Ask us in a few months how it is going!
