Easter

The boys were so excited to wake up and find that the Easter Bunny visited our house. (Tessa didn't know the difference). They got Lego's, bubbles, water games, candy and Hungry Hungry Hippos! Tess got her first My Little Pony and a Peter Rabbit toy (no candy). We had a great day at church and afterwards we went to the cemetery to visit Andrew and feed the ducks (and fish and turtles). It was so great to be there, too bad David was out of town and unable to join us.

We came home and made Easter dinner for grandma Rygmyr, aunt Kristen, Atkins, aunt Caitlin and her new boyfriend, Rory. We had a great dinner out on the deck with beautiful weather and the boys were able to play. 

It was a wonderful day, perfect for reflecting on the love our Savior has for us and how blessed we are to be an eternal family.

Primrose Easter party

On Friday we went to Nathans school for an Easter party. Unfortunately it rained all day so the party got moved indoors, that didn't matter to Nathan and AJ at all. They had a great time. They played games, ate BBQ and hunted for Easter eggs. They had all of the egg hunts separated into ages. AJ was so cute in his, all the kids would pick up one egg and look at it then go find another one. Nathan was in the group 5 and up. There were a lot of "and up" kids who hoarded the majority of the eggs. Poor Lucy in his class was crying because she didn't get any eggs. Nathan gave her a bunch of his eggs to make her feel better. He is such a sweet, kind kid. It is so cute to see him with his friends he has a lot of fun with them.

They took pictures of us with the Easter bunny, it was the kids first photo shoot with a Easter Bunny. Nathan was excited, Anderson was slightly terrified and Tessa was not having it AT ALL!

Spring break with the Buttles!

Tessa's first ponytail

For spring break this year we drove to Bentonville Arkansas to see our best friends Katie and Tyler Buttle. We had such a great time visiting, eating and playing games. We jumped on the trampoline, played frisbee, drew with chalk, ate tiny ice cream cones, built a stool and played more games.
