Easter 2014

We had a fun Easter here! It was a whirlwind day, as Easter always seems to be. Luckily, the rest of the weekend wasn't so crazy. We had a leisurely morning of opening Easter baskets from the Bunny at home. Then we got cleaned up and headed to church for breakfast and 11:00 service. The kids sang with the choir and Brian and I played bells at that service.

 

Here's a few pictures from our morning at home.

 Now everyone can see how crazy Will's hair is in the morning!

 After church, we had lunch at the Niebuhrs. On a side note, I did convince the boys to wear matching outfits. I wonder how much longer I'll get away with it!

 Hunting Easter eggs at the Niebuhrs. The weather was still cooperating at this point....

 We got to the Hoefs house around 4:30. The weather was very stormy. We took advantage of a 5 minute lull in the rain and went outside to look for the eggs. Everyone took off their shoes and walked in the soggy grass. Tobias had fun!

We ate a good dinner at the Hoefs and opening more baskets! We got home in time for a normal bedtime, but everyone was pretty tired. Unfortunately, we all had to get up and go to school/work the next day. I think we survived, though! Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter, also. More later!
