Easter

We had a great Easter up in MN this year. The weather was actually great this year, warm even! Ella and I went home early, on Tuesday and spent some quality time with family. Marc drove up on Friday and then we all drove home together on Monday. Of course our time there was extremely busy, got to pack everyone in! I was able to visit my friend April and her new baby, Isabella (just 5 days old). It was great to see them, it's been a long time since I have seen April, so this visit was extra special. Ella and I both managed to get a haircut while home, and did some shopping at the outlet mall for a day. Then of course we had all the Easter fun as well. Our family does a huge seafood dinner on Easter eve, which I prepared with my sisters. Then on Easter we went to church, brunch, had an Easter egg hunt, and a big dinner at home. It was a great day.

This is our attempt to get all the kids in one picture.
There are about 6 or 7 pictures, all about this good!

Ella and Harley got the front yard and the big kids got the back yard.

Our try at a family picture

We had such a good time in MN, as usual. While up there we also got to go see the progress on the lake house my parents are building at Lake Pipen. It is going to be a beautiful house and a great place for our family to gather. Lots of outdoor space to use and a great beach right down the street.
