Easter 2022

All 10 grandchildren! I am so thankful for every one of them!

We had a wonderful time as a family as we gathered together on Easter Day. I am amazed that our little apartment can host everybody somewhat comfortably. There are a few times when it gets really loud and the space seems small but for the most part the older children play upstairs and the adults and younger children visit downstairs and it is very pleasant. We had the evening meal together and then the traditional egg hunt. Everyone loved last year when we hid the eggs in the store and since it was cold outside we decided to do the same this year.

Steve spend a good part of the afternoon hiding the eggs and the children had a great time hunting for them. Here is the egg hunt in pictures from youngest to oldest.

Cassidy got help from Mommy to fill her egg basket and then.....

Daddy kept her occupied while her cousins were searching for their eggs.

Jake thought filling his basket with eggs was great fun...

...but after finding all his eggs he thought it was also fun to grab other things off the shelves so Daddy had to carry him :)

Janae admires her purple eggs...

...and is so happy to find another one in the freezer. Bryce watches her intently....

...and then gets some help reaching his orange egg behind the table.

Clara shows off the pink eggs that she has found.

Hannah digs through her eggs to find the best treats. 

Awstin counts his green eggs to see if he has them all....

...and Mark checks his bucket to see if his blue eggs are all accounted for.

Lydia searches the shelves intently to see if she can spot another egg.

Alexis checks to see if Grandpa hid some of her eggs among the cake frostings. 

Some of the children sit on the floor to open their eggs and find the treats inside.

The two youngest grandchildren had such cute outfits on that I just had to share them on the blog as well.

Such a cute matching hat with her adorable dress and sweater

So handsome in his Easter outfit!

We are so thankful for our family and we are also so grateful that Jesus came to earth and suffered the pain and humiliation of the cross so that we might be saved through Him. He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!
