Wow, what a weekend it has been! Our little family started out Saturday morning with my Pop, Abraham, to an Easter Extravaganza at Micke Grove Park. Pop presented Colten with an Easter basket full of cars! He loved it! We had such a great time, Colten got an egg painted on his face, Matt (not so much Colten) liked petting the bunnies,
then , along with 250 other children under age 5, we ran like Pamplonian bulls out into a field to snatch up eggs as fast as we could. Colten, with mommy and daddys help *wink*, retrieved about a dozen plastic eggs. We weren't lucky enough to get one with a special ticket in it (you could win a giant easter basket or other gifts) but we were satisfied just the same.
Pop and I began the glorious Easter morning with Mass at St. Lukes. We weren't able to find a sitter at 7am on Easter morning so Matt stayed home with Colten. After Mass we took flowers to my grandma Frances' gravesite then went to breakfast. At noon, Matt, Colten and I headed over to Uncle Tom and Aunt Peggy's house for lunch and another egg hunt! We were so happy to see Matts cousins Tom, Leesa, and Ryan, Mike, Kelli, Finn and Aiden, Tim, Barbie and Sean, his brother Nick and girlfriend Christina, and of course, Matts mom, Barbara and Uncle Tom and Aunt Peggy!

Q. What do you do when a toddler runs?
A. You run after him!

We had such a wonderful time. We ate fabulous food and Colten found loads of hidden eggs with mommy helping only a little bit. All in all it was a marvelous Easter weekend and we wish you all a blessed spring season.
