This year for our big Easter egg hunt, Sara made each of the kids their own treasure hunt to go on. They had to follow a trail of pictures or description to find an
Easter egg at each place.
Here's the participating group!
Hannah found an egg up here.
Jonas trying to find the right bush to look under.
Dad helped Maren find her treasures.
The new mushroom was a perfect place to rest Essie's basket.
Maren needs a larger basket, I think!
Easter morning was very fun. That Easter bunny thought she was being tricky hiding our baskets this year, but Maren woke up early and found them all before anyone else had a look.
Goodies for all!
Esme enjoyed her bubbles.
Again, Maren needs a bigger basket!
The kids looked fab for church on Sunday!
GQ man!
I think this is the last year I will get them in the same dresses.
She has been pulling cheesy grins lately.
It is quite the project trying to get numerous kids to look and smile at the camera.
We also had a little visitor the week of Easter. My nephew Jasper and his folks came to town. He is the cutest baby I have ever seen. Of course I say that about all babies that are brought around, but he has the cutest brown curly hair and it doesn't hurt that he looks just like my dad.
Two days after Easter, we had a bit of a snow storm. The snowflakes were the size of a silver dollar and would melt as soon as they hit the ground. I've never seen them that large!
I have been
working on my new knitting skills since my sister-in-law Liz showed me how at Christmas time. The blue washcloth was my first
attempt and turned out fairly well. The orange and blue was my second and turned out a bit crazy. The knitting is good, but I have knitted a different pattern on the top and left side. I am going to have to get back with Liz and see what I am doing wrong. I do enjoy it though and it makes for some hand work while I am watching the
tele.

Your knitting looks quite good for your first attempts. Keep at it and it will get better. Love the kids pictures, they are growing fast.
Love the Easter pics. We were happy to have good weather and it looks like you guys did too. Hannah is getting to be so grown up, I forget that she is the same age as the Beehives I'm with in YW. Crazy! It seems so long ago since we all were together, wish our lives weren't so busy. We'll be down for the wedding of course so hopefully we'll get some good visits in then.
Cute pictures as usual. All pictures are cute if they have cute kids in them. At least you know how to knit. I have not started that skill yet. I am still trying to perfect my crocheting. Keep up the good work. See you soon.
Yes, your knitting looks great. I can't wait to get together and knit some more. I'm knitting a sweater for Leslie which I hoped would be ready for her trip to England, but it appears to be Tito small so I will probably be frogging it( that's what you call undoing it) so I can make it the right size. Sigh
