Easter 2014

We had a low-key Easter weekend this year. Because Denny was scheduled to work the Saturday before Easter, we decided to stay home instead of going to my parent's house. I had Good Friday off, so the kids and I went to Ikea with Jenny. It was fun and the kids behaved pretty well.

On Saturday, Alicia and I took the kids to a local Easter egg hunt. We were such amateurs. We got there late and then missed where the kids were supposed to be, but they went with the older kids and had fun. Afterward, Alicia and Luke took the kids for a special adventure. They went to Build-a-Bear, where Emma made a My Little Pony (adorable!) and Colt made a monkey in a Detroit Tigers uniform. Then, they picked out their first fish, which Emma named Fishinator. Ha! Love her!

Late that night, I hid some eggs in the living room, placed our eggs in ours shoes (Denny's family tradition) and put out the Easter baskets. On Sunday morning, the kids found their eggs and looked at their baskets before church. Afterward, they did another small egg hunt before we headed over to Debbie's for brunch. It was a beautiful day! We enjoyed a lazy afternoon at home (I even snuck in a nap!). Dennis came over with baskets for the kids in the evening. It was pretty perfect!
