Snow Day April 2

 Elli was already off school for spring break so she didn't have an extra day off school, but it sure did snow!  We got to spend some time with Grandma Donough.

 We went to Kyle's after mom and dad's on Easter Sunday

 This is what we woke up to the day after Easter.  Grandma slept at our house and Linda came up later.

 We enjoyed breakfast together.  She had cereal and toast and Micah enjoyed entertaining her.

 After breakfast, we decided to head out to play in the snow.

 We made a snow bunny since it was just one day after Easter.

 Bunny selfie.

 I sure do love these kids.  I will miss pictures with these bushes behind our house.

 This has been our snow hill for many years.  The kids have had many wonderful days of sledding on this hill. It has gone from mountain to hill as they have grown, but has provided years of sledding fun.

 Elli was getting brave and trying to snow board.

 Micah also wanted to try it.

 They did pretty well but fell a lot:)

 Elli took this picture of me and I happen to love it.  Though there was snow cover, it was a little warm by the afternoon when the sun was high.

 A sledding selfie.

 This area provides some of our best snow memories.

We spent some more time with grandma and she even played our piano.  It was a great day.

Easter at Mom and Dad's

 Grandma always styling:)

 Dad and sweet little Ruby.

 They are waiting for mom to get their baskets.

 They get so excited for such little gifts.  They know it is because they are loved.

 Elli is getting big girl things now in her basket. 

 Of course we also get our baskets from the bunny with very basic rhymes...

 These cousins are a lot of fun, almost all the time!

 This was the set up to get a good picture.

 Somehow in all the excitement, mom fell.  Memories.

 I love this picture of me and my big girl. Her dress by the way is from the Mother's Sale.  It looked perfect for Easter.

 Milo, across the street, cam over with some baby chicks for the kids to play with.

 They loved them.

This was so sweet to me.

Easter Sunday, April 1

I took a ton of pictures.  I like this one.

 All of us at church.

 Our traditional Masters, Raymonds, Fergusons and Vachas and Hollins. I am thankful for good friends and fun memories.

 My sweet kiddos.

 Just a picture of the choir on Easter Sunday.

 One of my favorite pictures.  I turned this one into a canvas.

 Our tradition is for them to come home from church and find that the bunny has left riddles for them to find their baskets.

 Micah found his in his toy basket under the table.

 Elli found hers in the hall closet.

 The bunny left a riddle for each child again.  They did well on finding them.

Lots of favorites.

 Each kid also gets one special egg usually with money inside and it is hidden in a special place.

 Elli wanted a picture with Bellah. I will miss our pictures in front of our house when we move.

 Cool dude.

 I sure love him and his handsome-ness.

 Goof balls.

 I will also miss our family pictures in front of this fireplace.  We will just be making more memories in a new place though.

 I seriously want to squeeze him.

 Of course we have to work in the ninja moves.

 Is she getting too big or what?

Elli took one of Brent and I!  The kids decorated the house with some extra decorations made of paper one day while I was at work.  They were quite proud.  You can see the paper string of eggs on the fireplace.
