Easter Weekend

We had a fun-filled weekend, starting with a trip to the Dallas Cowboys Stadium on Friday night to watch Michigan beat Kansas in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament.  We had a blast, and Pla Shee could not have been more excited that he got to go to the game...one of the perks of being the oldest child!

Saturday we had a pancake breakfast and Easter Egg hunts at Kai and Ruby's school.  Turns out Kai is not the best egg hunter...he likes to examine the contents of each egg as he picks it up.  So Ruby hauled in about 20 eggs to Kai's 4.  But both were happy with the results, so I guess it worked.  Pla Shee lied and said he was still 11 so he could hunt eggs also, but I limited his haul, much to his disappointment.  He is a champion egg finder.

Here we are at church on Sunday morning. I laughed when I compared this pic to last year's Easter pic--Kai's doing his best frown in both!

And here we are at Aunt Nita's house.  Same problem!

Sunday we had an egg hunt of a different sort, with 4 of our turkey chicks hatching in the afternoon.  They are super cute!  We put them in our rabbit hutch with a heat lamp, because we've learned from past experience that our hens don't do a very good job caring for the chicks once they hatch.  Ruby is fascinated with them.

We had a great time at our niece Sarah's house on Sunday afternoon.  The kids love playing with their cousins.  Here's proof that Kai actually did smile this weekend!
