Seeing the world in full color

We have been having so much fun this month that I'm way behind in sharing the events. (It's mostly for me to remember as time goes by, but I hope you enjoy a peek too.) After our U of M Spring Game adventure, my brother and sister-in-law graciously hosted a fantastic supper and an afternoon filled with fun. The kids tore off their clothing and colored Easter eggs, opened baskets, and hunted the candy/money filled eggs in the back yard. They had so much fun that we kept sending them back in the house while we re-hid eggs. They would have done this all night if we would have let them:)

Easter is such a beautiful reminder of childhood memories. Our family has always been so good at reconnecting during the holidays even though we fall short sometimes during the rest of the year wrapped up in the business of life. Even adults just can't help but to watch over a coloring/hunting session. The season has really helped me to break some of that nasty spell that had been lingering. So thankful for re-birth, newborn babies, sprouting flowers, sunshiny days, and so much more.

Ryan had so much fun coloring eggs that he asked Granna if he could do it again and so last night she whipped up a couple more dozen eggs. This time, Tyler joined the fun and was surprisingly good at it. Good times.
