Happy Easter!

Here's a pic of "kid table" for Easter dinner. We actually did it on Saturday because Hailey and Steve had to get back to Chicago to teach their primary classes on Sunday. It was fabulous to have the help with rolls and everything!


Here's our Easter egg hunt. We did it at Ada Park (a park not far from our house). It was a great venue for the hunt. A cute little bridge and benches and trees and bushes to hide the eggs in. Even the first blooming daffodils I'd seen this season! We were so happy that Leisy and Kent drove up just in time to join us!


Our lamb cake this year! We actually didn't decorate it! I should make another one and let them decorate it, I made this one with the Absolutely Almond pound cake from Tastefully Simple (thanks Mommo) and wanted it with strawberries instead of frosting!


Here are the eggs we decorated. Sadly, Craig was in Washington D.C. Monday night so he missed our FHE decorating eggs.



Here's the beautiful spring morning we enjoyed a week ago!



Lovely Michigan and it's almost May.





Check out these great pix that Leisy took for us on Easter Sunday after chuch! We were lucky the 4" of snow we had gotten the previous Monday had melted and that Leisy was visiting with her awesome camera.

A lamb cake?! I've never heard of such a thing! How did you make it? and your eggs are so cute. ours were from a "swirl" kit, but ended up pretty pastel. The kids still liked it and all that re-dipping meant they felt like they decorated many more than they really did. :)

What a fun group to have for a holiday! I'm so glad that you could all get together.

Those pictures are cute (the Easter ones). I have yet to take an Easter Day picture with this family. Did you ever use the Touch of Gold kit? :) It just never worked while we were there. Did Taylor want to ride the stick horse in the picture? It looks pretty cute! Thanks for a great weekend! It was really fun!

Happy Easter! Love the girl's dresses! I hope we get some good sunshiney weather soon... or maybe we will just have to camp in a snow cave, in June!!
