Easter Weekend

We had a great, fun-filled family weekend.  Friday afternoon Myers, Laura, and Lillian pulled into town and 10 minutes later the men left to pick Henry up from the airport.  We lingered over a porch dinner and the little girls giggled and made leaf soup and other fancy make believe concoctions in the yard. Saturday morning we picked strawberries.

 It seems that all the nieces (even Hadley) adore Henry.  We keep reminding him that he's allowed to stop playing with them if he wants to.  If it were up to them he would never leave. 

 Some freshly made strawberry ice cream

 ... the cone for Hadley.  Can you tell she ate a few berries?

 When the left the strawberry farm we headed to the park for some tree climbing.

 ... and some picnic-ing

 This morning we woke up to Easter baskets filled by the bunny and a pajama egg hunt.

 Man, I love this face.  It is authentic excitement about whatever candy is in that egg.  Simple pleasures, right?

 We got dressed and attempted some family pictures.  

 How about this moment?  Precious.

 Brothers.  We missed you, Will!

 Then off to church for a great sermon, a potluck lunch, and an egg hunt.  Are you feeling a little exhausted? (I was!) The girls were feeling a little silly.

We had such a great weekend.  Lily Kate is going to go through withdrawal without Lillian.  I kept telling the kids we had Spring Break, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and now tomorrow is Pre-school Monday.  It's not as meaningful as Easter Sunday, but I have to say I'm pretty excited about Pre-school Monday ;)
