Easter 2014

Because Easter was a full week after Melissa's due date, we decided early on we weren't going anywhere.  So, my family came to us.  I think they were hopeful to have the opportunity to meet their new grandson and to be truthful, we had hoped to have a baby at that point to introduce to them!  But, that wasn't in cards.

We had a great visit and a fantastic holiday!  My Mom and Dad and Grandma Marge came up for the weekend.  Emma always loves it when she gets to hang with her Grandparents.  We did all the usual Easter things - dying Easter eggs, an Easter egg hunt, and Easter dinner complete with yummy Easter ham.

Emma is on the hunt . . . for eggs.  As it turns out, after finding all the eggs Easter morning we left them outside while we went to church and during Emma's afternoon nap.  In that time period the pesky neighborhood squirrels got into every single egg and ate the candy.  As you can imagine this is devastating news to a soon to be 3 year old.  Thank goodness for Melissa's connections to the Easter Bunny!  One phone call and the bunny came back and hid more eggs the following day.  Phew!

Everyone is looking good in their Easter duds before church.

We had a wonderful meal with wonderful company!  Our lives are blessed with the best family and friends a person could ask for, and for that we are so very thankful.

With love from Minneapolis,

Jason, Melissa, Emma, and Lucas
