Easter

What a beautiful day in O’Fallon to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We have been talking about it all week around the house and Madeline sure was excited to get up this morning. The first thing she noticed was the loot!

A basket for Maddie and Will from Grandpa Ross & Grandma Jenna. A purple sack filled with treasures from Andy and Grandma Linda and a basket from “The Easter Bunny”. Can we say spoiled? Madeline ran upstairs to find me and to get William. She just kept saying, “William you are not going to believe this!”.

Then Madeline remembered that Mrs. Diana her Sunday School teacher had said there would be an Easter party at church. She quickly brushed her teeth and got ready.

I tired to get pictures of the kids together and Will was impossible. I even went and got Nick to see if he could help wrangle but all Will wanted to do was walk around and play ball.

I though the tie I made to go with Maddie’s dress came out pretty good.

After a busy day at church teaching two Sunday School classes we headed home for an egg hunt.  As soon as Will would find an egg he would sit down and eat the candy. Madeline ended up with 46 of the 50 eggs.

Silly sister

Will has a silly sister!

She must have climbed the slide and gone back down a dozen times. Each time he would laugh and laugh.


This is how she dresses to help Daddy wash the car.

When Will walks with his hands behind his back I think he really looks like a little old man.

Easter Party

The Cole family invited us over for a little Easter fun.

Our families match up pretty great, Amelia is a year older then Madeline, Molly is the same age as Madeline, and Peyton and Will are just a week apart. They always have fun together and it lets Becky and I have some chat time.

Becky told the Easter story. We made Resurrection Rolls. http://www.dltk-kids.com/recipes/resurrection_rolls.htm

Will was a great listener (it involved food).

Then it was Easter Egg hunt time. They kids went out by age group. Will found one egg, or ball as he called it. He stopped right then and there when he found the jelly beans inside.

Madeline had a pretty good haul!  It was a super fun time. Madeline mostly loved playing dress up with the princess clothes and Will just liked exploring a new place. Happy Easter!
