Easter Sunday

We had a very nice Easter...started the day off bright and early at 6:30.  Put the kids off an hour until 7:30 before they searched for their baskets from the Easter Bunny, but only daddy got to "sleep in" until then.  Then we did a nice family breakfast, and booked it through showers and getting ready to head to 11:00 mass at church.  You'd think that something that started at 11:00 25 minutes away would not be a big deal, but we always seem to be cutting it close.

After church, we had Easter lunch at Mimi and Pa's house, along with Uncle Ronnie & Aunt Jess, Uncle Adam & Aunt Beth, Jack and Anna.  The kids searched for more baskets and had an Easter egg hunt outside in the beautiful sunshine.

Then we had some R & R at home as a family.  It was pretty near a perfect Sunday...

the egg hunt is on!

Ben, always the reserved one, looked for permission to pick up almost every egg he found

and while sitting quietly by himself, he accidentally discovered the eggs opened...

and held treats!

his face was priceless!

all the cousins

"Powell" girls

such a tomboy...climbing fences in her Sunday best

look how big Anna is getting!

Uncle Ronnie knows the way to kids' hearts isn't really through candy...it's through buggy rides!
