Easter

Last weekend was Easter and we had a great weekend. On Saturday we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at Meadowbrook. This year it was bigger and better than ever before. They had 4 areas for the different age groups. It was Amelia's introduction to competing for candy.
We started our Sunday with Easter bread fresh from the oven. Then Marlene and I went to church. After the long Palmsunday service, she was a little worried, but that evaporated when she got her little bell. At Bethany Lutheran Church all the children ( and young at heart) get to ring a little bell every time the word "(h)alleluja" comes up. That kept her on her toes.
While we were at church Jason saw the Easter bunny in our yard. So before lunch we got to collect eggs in our own yard. For dinner we met with friend at Jon and Jen's house. We had a great potluck. I made cream puffs for desert. I have seen swan puffs at buffets before and so I came up with a bunny desig. The girls got to search for more eggs. By this time Amelia really got the hang of it. She collected more than anyone else. She was all business. This girl did not even hesitate to "bump" into Zoey and grab the eggs that fell out of Zoey's basket.
