Happy Easter!

I love Easter and this time of year.  

Everything is green and in bloom.

On Saturday, we enjoyed a family hike in our local National State Park. 

I love having it practically in walking distance from our home.

We even brought Cole and he loved it! 

The weather is clean and pretty, it's fun to get out and enjoy family time, and sisterly bonding time.  

Easter Morning!

What did the Easter Bunny bring? 

John had to go to a meeting at church, so I took pictures of the kids before we had to leave.  The neighbors got a kick out of seeing them all in their Easter-best.  (We are the only church-goers on our street).  It was classic!  However trying to get the just right photo is next to impossible - at least that just right photo of each of them at the same time. 

Ashlyn is singing Alleluia already.  The neighbors must have loved it.

Christian and one of his unique poses.  Not quite sure what it means.

Brooke is always ready to strike a pose. 

Here Ashlyn is now leading the neighborhood in an Alleluia choir.

Well done neighbors!  A round of applause - You did beautifully!

Brooke taught Ashlyn how to strike a pose. 

I love how they actually want to match still.  I'll take it as long as I can.

It's time to get in the car for church . . . Ashlyn decides to take a nature walk instead. 

In the evening, over at Lisa's, the kids had fun with a little Easter egg hunt.

How silly of us to forget our baskets and have to use lovely grocery sacks. 

I made a bunny carrot cake for dessert and for Sharon's birthday.  He turned out pretty cute! 

I also made an Easter egg wreath.  The dyed eggs were baked right in the bread. 

Now for spring break!  Yay!  I am ready for a week off school.
