Happy Easter!!

We had a nice Easter. Nolan was able to come and spend the night on Saturday night. The older kiddos were able to play Wii and goof around for a while. We tried, at first, to let them sleep together, but in the end, we had to separate them. They were up MUCH too late, but actually they did better than expected with such little sleep.

Brody was up first to see what the Easter Bunny had brought...and of course, the Easter Bunny knows EXACTLY what Brody loves....BALLS!! (Side note Brody started crawling on furniture on Friday)

Then Morgan awoke, but I asked her to be patient and wait in her room for a while. She waited very patiently for over an hour and a half. Finally at 8:00 she asked if we could wake up Nolan. So, now Bob and the two older kiddos came downstairs.

After Brody took a nap and Nolan and Morgan were able to play outside on the swing set and color with Nolan's new chalk, they came inside, took a bath and then we headed to Oma and Bepaw's house for lunch.
Morgan and Nolan had an Easter egg hunt, in which twelve eggs were strategically placed around the yard for the kids to find. They had to find only six eggs and couldn't duplicate colors. They worked very well together, helping the other one out when it came to finding eggs. Then Oma read clues on where to find their Easter baskets. Man...the Easter bunny went ALL out!! Great job EB!! Then came lunch...
We had ribs, potato salad, broccoli (note...Nolan is NOT a fan but he did take a no thank you bite!!) blueberry butter braid bread and carrot cake for dessert. YUM!!! Thanks Mom and Tom!!
Then it was time for Sara to come get Nolan :( All in all...it was a great day! Terrific weather, flowers starting to bloom, good company and food and the Good Lord has RISEN!! Couldn't ask for anything better!
