Happy Easter

i don't know about anybody else ... but, easter snuck up on us. it's not like i didn't know it was early this year. it just seemed like it wasn't quite here yet. maybe it had something to do with the blizzard we had a couple weeks prior. but, it came, obviously. and, we celebrated christ's resurection. we had a great weekend. we colored eggs, hid easter baskets, hung w/ family, and had egg hunts. our church service was great!!! anyhow, here are some pics of our weekend.






i am not much of a decorator, crafty, artsy, etc ... so here are our completely imperfect eggs

easter dinner was at my aunt and uncle's house for the first time ever. i thought they did a fabulous job. they set out their fine china just like my grandparents used to.









yes, gary is a cool guys. gotta love him.




i have been trying to style lukie's hair lately (usually i'm too lazy to bother), but it always tends to fall down. this isn't very encouraging. i'm probably just going to go back to my old ways.

























this is one of my handsome nephews caleb. it's not very often i take a photo and it turns out this good. so cute!








i don't think joey wanted to pause too long for his egg hunt. it was nice he stopped at all! :)




































we went to the nearby school playground. i think the adults had more fun playing on the jungle gym then the kids. my arms are hurting today!! but, here --- i actually am not using my arms at all! now that there is some talent!!

Hi Val and Gary!
It's great to see all the shining faces of Easter. Easter did seemed to come very very early! That was a great photo of Caleb, but Luke's hair was darling I thought - you looked beautiful as usual. My Grandma Stauch china was too- Ha!
I'm getting my computer repaired so I can unload my photos, so that's why the delay.
