Easter

We decided to spend Easter in my hometown to spend time with Papa and Grandma Cindy before they left for vacation. We spent the night on Saturday at my mom's, so we didn't have to make the drive in the morning.

After church. we headed out to the farm where we ate and let the kids play and enjoy the sun. They had a great time!

My sister also took some great pictures and posted them here on her blog.

After spending the early afternoon with my family, we headed back home to spend some time with Kurt's family. We celebrated his Aunt & Uncle's (also Kurt's Godfather) 50th Wedding Anniversary. They married later in life and I am sure that they never thought they'd make it to 50 years. As always, there was so much food. Always way more than we could possibly eat. I guess that is a good thing, but it gets to the point where you have to laugh packing it all up. I will look forward to making the Ham Bone Soup that I love to make - get the recipe here. It's easy and really good! I look forward to it every year.

Sunday night brought lots of organizing of toys and candy that came to us from all of those that want to give the little ones some Easter treats. We love that everyone loves the kids, but sometimes it is a little overwhelming...all the stuff. Anyone that knows Kurt, knows he just loves to surround himself with clutter and kid stuff (hahaha). Anyway, we now have so much candy and chocolate...I am going to have to dole it out slowly and hopefully refrain from eating too much of it myself.
