Easter 2014

We went to Owatonna on Saturday to celebrate Easter with my family.  There is an Easter egg hunt put on by one of the local churches.  This year it was pretty chaotic and there were tons of kids inside (for the 2 & 3 year old hunt) so it was hard for the kids to get many eggs.  Thankfully Nora & Madelyn don't get it yet so that was fine.  Bishop's egg hunt was outside which was so much better!  Bishop did so well and got a ton of eggs.  The sweetest part was he was sharing with Nora after he was done :)  He just melts your heart!

We went back to my parent's house, had lunch, played outside and then went to visit Grandma Marlys. It's always good to see her!  There was an Easter egg hunt at her place and the kids had a blast!  That was much more their style.  Only a few kids and TONS of eggs!  Very cool that the care facility does these kinds of activities!

While all the kids were searching for eggs, Jack was playing the piano

We went to Owatonna Shoe to get Madelyn some new tennis shoes.
Her favorite part is riding the horsy!  Best part is it still only cost a penny to ride!

Easter morning we went to church.  I figured since we were going to the 8:00 service (and there were 5 other services that morning) we wouldn't have to get there early.  We ended up sitting in the back on folding chairs which turned out to be ok as the kids had room to play, run and for awhile it was only me in the church anyways :)  After church the Papke's came over for lunch and the kids played.  It was fun to see them and celebrate Easter with their family!  I realized I didn't get any pictures when they were here…..probably because we had 5 kids under 5 running around!  Such fun!
