Happy Easter

What a fabulous Easter Day!  We woke up to check out our Easter Story Cookies right away in the morning, really tasty and a fun activity to do with kids the night before Easter- enjoy the link if you're interested in the recipe.  After a church potluck and service we decided to enjoy the perfect weather.

The day was beautiful for an after-church picnic and hike at Mines of Spain, one of our favorite family spots.  We took candy-filled eggs along for the kids to hide and find.  I'm not sure whether they enjoyed hiding eggs for one another or finding them more (Morgan is helping right now and says her favorite was finding them).  Probably eating the chocolate inside was the best part though. 

Morgan and I hid Cade's eggs first, and he was off and searching...

He was amazed that the Easter Bunny hopped into so many trees!

Next came Morgan's turn.  We even convinced her to 'hop' her way to the eggs.

Cade helped out in case the Easter Bunny was too tall.

She managed to find all her eggs, with only a little guidance from her big brother.

A trip to Dairy Queen with ice cream covered faces was the perfect way to end the afternoon.  We all slept well last night and are enjoying a day at home today before starting back to school tomorrow.
