Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful spring break! We had Nicole, John, and Allie over on Friday and the kids colored Easter eggs, ate popcorn, played in the creek, and we also bbq'ed. It was a ton of fun and lots of fun hearing about Nicole's mission trip to Haiti. Saturday we enjoyed coloring Easter eggs again, celebrating with Michael's family, Easter egg hunt, and more! Sunday we went to church. we were a little late so we thought we'd be in the extra seating they open when there's a big crowd...nope...we were seated in the very front row...and we were late because the kids were a but unruly at the house before we left. Needless to say the front row wasn't too bad and the kids did fairly well!

Emily enjoyed the process!

Plop!

Jacob cheesing for the camera!

Emily posing with a few of our colored and decorated eggs!

Sweet Allie decided to color the egg...then dive in and eat the egg! It was hilarious watching her peel a little and eat a little then repeat!

Megan and John not really wanting to look at me because they both were very into their Easter eggs!

Allie, Jacob, and Emily watching the popcorn pop!

Megan posing at Grandma Dierking's for round two of coloring eggs! She's a pro now and I think we may do this in a few months again!

Emily going out for the hunt in the rain!

This is a cute picture of all the cousins!

Emily and Megan posing for a picture before church (maybe that was why we were late too ;)...Jacob couldn't quite get it together to be in the picture and although I did capture one with him in it I don't think he'd be proud in the future! Megan had the letter for the Easter bunny!

The girls were holding hands walking with Michael going to church!

Yea for a family picture with the Easter lilies! Right after this they went outside for an Easter egg hunt which they had a blast doing!

By the time the kids got home Sunday afternoon they were pro's at the egg finding!

Jeans make her look old...note to self, no more jeans!

Jacob was so excited to find eggs before Megan. If he was closer to one and they both dashed and he got it, he was ecstatic. At the end of the night we always talk about the day and on this day he rehashed getting a certain egg before Megan, ahh the power of sibling rivalry!
