Easter Sunday

Easter morning. Bree is out in seach of plastic eggs filled with Kix cereal.

Ben is making artistic creations with the plastic eggs.

And Maggs is checking out if the contents are worth keeping (chocolate, jelly beans, etc.), or if she should give it up to pay the "Daddy Tax."

Betsy & Bree discovered that Easter baskets can hold a lot more than candy!

The twins get their first taste of Peeps...
Peeps are S-T-R-E-T-C-H-Y!

Check out Betsy's face in the photo on the left and Bree's face in the photo on the right!
They weren't sure what to make of Peeps. Eventually, they both fed them to Java.

We rushed to Batesville shortly after our egg hunt to make it for 11:00 Mass so we could hear Grandpa Hank sing with the choir. It was nice to be home for Mass on a holiday for a change.
As soon as we got home from Mass, though, the Easter outfits were destroyed. I was so bummed! So much for a family photo. We'll have to try again another day!

Maggie and her turtle that she found in the lawn.

Then began the muddy egg-hunt in Grandma and Grandpa's yard. It was so muddy from all the rain we have gotten that everyone wore boots to slosh around in the grass. There were quarters in the eggs, so there was great incentive to look around!

I think Will said that he collected $2!

Seriously, could Anna look any prettier in this picture?
It looks like a magazine photo for Country Living.
