Easter

We had a nice Easter - it was a busy weekend trying to work on things around the house.  It seems like every weekend it just doing a ton of chores on Saturday to fix up little things around the house (plus soccer games).  Hoping we will eventually be done with that kind of stuff.  We had a nice Easter church service and Easter dinner.  We also had a little Easter egg hunt and Easter baskets for the kids in the morning.  Here we are the day before dyeing Easter eggs.

We had an Easter egg hunt in the basement




And the kids all had too much sugar.  Church was a little crazy that day - all the primary kids were pretty worked up.  Not sure if it was the sugar or just Easter eggcitement, or both.  My co-teacher taught our class today and she did an adorable Easter egg hunt for the kids, and even made it work for four extra kids who showed up as visitors.  Amazing!

After church Scott and I started cooking dinner - we had ham and scalloped potatoes among other things.  Here is Scott slicing our ham.

Here we are about to eat Easter dinner.

Here we are doing the Easter egg Derby.
We had fewer sportsmanship problems this year.

Here is a Matthew vs. Grant egg battle
I think the championship round was Matthew vs. Anna

And Matthew won with his egg: Dragon's Ampersand (everyone gets to name their own eggs).
He has never won before so he was happy to win the big chocolate bunny!
Way to go Matthew and Happy Easter!
