easter sunday was so very special this year...not only were we in omaha, but we celebrated with grandpa, grandma, auntie jen, uncle d.j. and andrea, as well as patti's brother larry and his family. they came up on saturday from wisconsin and stayed through the rest of our trip. we went to church in the morning and then came home to prepare the easter feast. patti and i did a lot of prep work the day before, which was so helpful! i'm pretty sure i was in the kitchen all day on saturday. i made "easter basket" cupcakes and a cheesecake with strawberries for dessert. before we enjoyed our meal, grandpa and uncle larry hid all of the easter eggs in the backyard so the girls were able to have their easter egg hunt. thankfully it wasn't raining! kyri was so attached to larry and janet's daughter, megan. she followed her everywhere and they had so much fun playing together! it was nice for her to have a friend. kyri was sure not without attention on this trip! mom and dad were pretty much out of the picture...she wanted grandma and grandpa to do everything. i can't complain, but we did miss our daughter while we were there. how can you not miss that cute face?
after our bellies were full, most of us enjoyed the whole sunday nap thing. some of us watched golf, others watched the sound of music. we just ate and relaxed all day long. perfect! it really was so wonderful to be together as a family and to enjoy the company of those you love. i know this will forever be a special easter to remember, spent at grandma and granpa's house.
all ready to go to church on easter sunday!
