A Wonderful Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year. It started out with Jasper getting his Easter wheelbarrow. (I opted for this instead of a basket) It was filled with some small toys and several candy-filled easter eggs. He overlooked the toys and went straight for the eggs. We headed to church for the Easter egg hunt before the service. We were a couple minutes late so the stampede of kids had pretty much found all of the eggs. Some nice parents hid a few of their kids eggs and Jasper had a blast finding them. Then there was a cute craft for all of the kids. It was a cross and you could decorate the base with flowers, but Jasper decided his cross needed eyes and hands instead.

We had a beautiful Easter worship service with some incredible piano/organ and choir music. We sang a lot more hymns than usual, and I loved it!


After church we headed to Peru. We stopped at Grandma Lena's for Josh to change his chocolate stained shirt (just a little of Jasper's Easter candy...) and got to spend some time with her and my parents and brother who stopped by to pick her up.

Then we headed to the Siding for a FANTASTIC Easter buffet with Josh's family. It was fun to see everyone, and Jasper loved seeing Grandma Doody (his new name for Judy), Papa Jack, Great-Grandma Marilyn, Great Aunt and Uncle Fretz and all of his cousins. After lunch, Josh's Aunt Kelly, Uncle Kevin and their kids, Skylar and Carter went back to Grandma Marilyn's with us. Jasper and Carter had a great time playing. Carter told me he was, "teaching Jasper some bad habits." It was soo cute. We got home around 7 p.m. and were pretty worn out, but in a good way.
