Easter!

Just wanted to show off some of our Easter pictures. We had a very quick trip to Washington, which included getting to the Smith's at 11:30 pm Friday, then leaving at 11:30 am Saturday to spend the rest of the weekend at my mom's. Thanks again for hosting us - next time we'll stay longer

Once we got to Grandma & Papa's, it was time to relax, play, and dye Easter eggs!

Chris & Caitlin joined the rest of the family for church and dinner Saturday night... the first time we've seen both of them since the wedding!!

We took advantage of the fact that we were all dressed up (and coordinated!) to do a full on photo shoot before heading to church!!

Amanda gives us the full view of her new Easter dress!

Sunday morning we woke up to an Easter egg hunt and Easter baskets ... all the while trying to remind the kiddos that the reason we celebrate is because Christ rose again (or, according to Andrew... Jesus rose, died, then rose again!) ... not just the great presents and candy!

After breakfast we packed up and headed home - including a quick-ish stop at the Outlets.

It was a great trip, but way too quick! We look forward to this summer when we can visit for a longer period of time (or at least the kids and I will come visit) to catch up with everyone.

Hope you had a wonderful Easter, too!!
