The day began with a beautiful sunny morning and the birds chirping. We woke up, got ready for church, ran a little late (as usual these days), loaded up the car and were on our way for a fun filled day. After church we returned home to prepare for our Easter dinner with some close friends (and finish cleaning). I cooked a spiral ham (well really just heated it up) and while we waited for our friends to get here we snapped some pictures in our front yard:
All smiles on the beautiful day. Check out my diva sandals and fantastic dress made by Dacia!

After a quick photo shoot we gave Mikayla her Easter basket. I think she was more impressed with the noises the objects made than she was the actual objects. Her basket was filled with Puffs, a book, bubbles, rabbit ears (for pictures later this week) and large plastic eggs stuffed with smaller plastic eggs. Side note – she had actually been playing with the eggs all week. We are not ashamed to regift!
Are you surprised she ended up with a giraffe Easter basket??
Next on our list of things to do was Easter dinner with some close friends. After we ate we let the kiddos dye eggs (even MLK "dyed" one) and had an Easter egg hunt in our backyard.
She wasn’t sure what to think about the eggs, actually she was a little upset I wouldn’t let her eat it!
Ready, Set, Hunt!
Our Egg Hunt Boot Camp really paid off, she knew exactly what to do and found a whopping four eggs!
The kiddos showing off their "loot"!
After the hunt the men went and played disc golf while the women and kids went and hung out outside and chatted. We topped the evening off with grilled brats and a fire in our backyard…PERFECT! I wish everyday could be this relaxing and fun filled!
