Happy Easter

Easter baskets, candy, egg dying and more, what a fun-filled holiday! This Easter was a bit different for us. I currently work at Heartland Community Church and we for the first time had three services Sunday. Awesome for attenders but exhausting for staff members! I was to work by 7am and not home until almost 2pm. This change was good though, it forced my husband and I to discuss how we wanted the day to look, what we would tell our kids and what we would celebrate.










A really good friend of mine is also terrific at making me think. Her and her husband have a one year old but they have already hashed out holiday traditions, beliefs and celebrations. Easter really isn't about the candy, bunny or baskets but instead Jesus coming alive again. We decided to first celebrate Jesus, go to church and embrace the real meaning.

Then after naps we did Easter baskets, an egg hunt, coloring eggs and delicious Easter dinner. A wonderful holiday filled with memories!










I hope your day was wonderful too. We will be at Lapacek's Orchard this Friday to have the Easter Egg Hunt!!!

Weather in Wisconsin

Well this weather sucks, yep I said it! I never thought our plans this week would be mixed up because of rain and snow.

Our Easter Egg Hunt is this week! The hunt will go on UNLESS it is raining, then we will postpone until April 29th. Please make sure to check Facebook Friday morning for updates. If the weather can cooperate a bit the hunt will start at 10:15.













ALSO there will be a TON of kids which is fantastic but our goal is FUN. The majority of kids are little but we will have some older ones since there's no school. Mamas I know I don't need to even say this but it makes me feel better:) please help your kids share, enjoy the experience and have fun. My mom always used to tell my sisters and I, "you had better share and be kind, I can always go to the store and buy you a bag of candy". So true, the egg hunt is more about the experience and not the goodies. We'll have a section for the real little ones with empty eggs so they can just play and put them in their baskets. When you pull up you will see eggs everywhere but we will try to wait for everyone before starting.










If the weather is nice feel free to bring a snack or lunch. The orchard has a great little walking trail we can check out. See you Friday, I hope I hope!!!
