April

April started out nicely with great weather.

We try to take a picture at this spot each year at the beginning of April so we can look back at it & see how much snow we had each year at that time.

Happy Easter!!

It went from dry ground to this:

The twins woke up & went & found their boots so they could go outside. I told them that it is cold outside so they went back downstairs & found 2 of the boys hats & put them on. They thought they were ready to play outside now. They make me smile:)

The day before I had clothes hanging on the clothesline.

I do have to admit that the tree looked so beautiful with the heavy snow on it.

We drove through the snow to the Marten's to have a little Easter(Resurrection) celebration with them.

We all enjoy being at their house. I read a quote & it suits our relationship with them:

"Family isn't always blood.

It is the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile & who love you no matter what."

We received this wonderful basket from these great friends.

I used it the next morning to start our little hunt.

I had 8 clues for the kids to go find their baskets.

Our tired little bug, Lauryn. She fell asleep before I even had lunch on the table.
