Happy Easter!

This past weekend was Easter and we were so lucky to have such beautiful weather. It felt like Spring and we spent the majority of it outdoors.

 

Festivities began with the Sugar Egg decorating tradition. I think I spent more time preparing and getting everything ready for them than we did actually decorating; it took about 20 minutes until the kitchen was a distaster area. Never the less - we produced three beautifully decorated eggs!

 

 

Saturday started off with an Easter Egg hunt at a nearby park on the lake. We put both kids in the same section, and Sonia - with help from her helpful brother - got the most eggs out of any kid. She was so fast! But she was also generous and shared her eggs with some of the smaller kids who didn't get as many :)

 

The Easter Bunny visited us on Sunday morning and left a trail of jellybeans leading the kids to to their baskets. Needless to say, the morning started off with a sugar rush. After a lovely church service, where Erich sang in the choir, we headed to brunch at Palisades. Margaret joined us - we were so happy to see her!

 

After brunch, and a very good nap, we explored our new neighborhood and stumbled on a beautiful beach literally 5 minutes from our house. It was a beautiful day and felt like summer!
