Friday, before the Hodens arrived, the girls and I colored Easter eggs while Grady took a long (thankfully) nap. They were pretty proud of their colorful creations...now, if only I could actually get them to try a hard boiled egg!
As usual, once the Hodens arrived, the kids became joined at the hip. The girls got to have a sleepover with their cousins up at Grandma and Grandpa's on Friday. Saturday, we had an Easter egg hunt which was a huge hit with the kiddos...so fun to see them racing around the yard, sharing treats, and re-hiding eggs for each other to find. Even though it wasn't truly that warm, the kids (and the adults) spent pretty much the entire day outside soaking up the sun - a good thing, too, as Easter Sunday it rained, rained, and rained some more!
Here's a collage Beth put together of all the kids from playtime / egg hunting on Saturday:
Sunday morning the girls were up early to find their (and Grady's) Easter baskets. They found Grady's first because it was so "easy" - just behind the couch. Grace found her's next hiding behind a door downstairs, and Liv was last, finding hers hiding deep under the stair closet behind some folding chairs. Pretty positive they LOVED their baskets - and, their favorite "treat" was the Disney movie Frozen! Yes, we all can now sing every.single.song and quote multiple lines of this movie!
We had a relatively successful church experience despite the fact that it was really hot and stuffy. Father Phil gave a really nice sermon that I actually got to listen too! Afterwards we drove around a bit so Grady could fall asleep before meeting with Brian's family and the Kruses for breakfast at Hotel Winneshiek. Grady slept the whole time, so I really did enjoy brunch!
During a brief rain break in the afternoon, I got a chance to take a few pictures of the kiddos! Enjoy!
