Saturday afternoon we went to Daudy Lapp's for a family gathering! Mommy Lapp made 'hay stack' for supper and then we had homemade vanilla pie, pudding and fruit salad for dessert! Hard to loose that 'baby fat' eating that yummy stuff! After the meal, the kids found their Easter basket outside! The weather was actually nice! The sun came out late afternoon and was shining so bright for their little hunt! We spent the evening playing games ... settlers, skip-oh, sorry, and hoss.

We didn't get to spend time with my family this weekend. Bummer. They all went to the mountains and we decided to stay home. Traveling with a three week old baby didn't seem too appealing. The kids were not impressed with our decision at first, but they had a fun weekend at home! We went to church yesterday and had a much warmer afternoon! Last night we invited Matt Lapp's to come over! They brought pizza and we hung out. The kids love getting together just as much as we adults do!
We try to keep Christ the top priority in Easter. It was because of Him that we even have the Easter Story! Having family gatherings, egg hunts, eat chocolates and play games is great ... but it's BECAUSE CHRIST AROSE that we celebrate Easter! Hallelujah!
