Easter Day Rainstorm

We had a wonderful Easter Day despite the torrents of rain and the 70 mi. wind gusts. Both kids got all dressed up which Chloe loved of course. Aidan started the morning off on the cranky side so he was less than impressed with the whole dressing up part. We ran through the parking lot at church and enjoyed the service. Both kids had a great time playing and learning about the true meaning of Easter.

After church we came home and the kids looked for their Easter baskets. Each of the kids got a bubble tumber (helps reduce bubble spills when the kids are blowing them) and other gooodies. Than Mom cut and diced veggies for a salad for dinner than we all packed up, dodged the rain again and headed to Aunt Lisa's. The kids got to do an indoor egg hunt right away (it's kind of hard to hide the eggs in the house while containing the kids into one room). Chloe is a pro at this by now and Matt helped Aidan run through the house gathering eggs. They both had so much fun. Once Aidan realized that some of the eggs held candy he was totally sold on the egg hunt. We had a delicious dinner of ham, salad, scalloped potoatoes and finished off with some yummy desserts.

We visited with Lisa, James, Jenny, Laurie and all the kids (I think there were 14 there but I lost count) for the afternoon. Than we headed out to Nana and Poppa's for some Easter surprises. Instead of the planned egg hunt we stayed in the house and listened to the wind blow. We stayed for dinner and a movie than the kids got their Easter buckets. Of course Aidan was thrilled with more candy. He had gone the entire day without a nap totally sustained on a sugar high! Chloe got her chocolate bunny so she was happy. It was a great day spent with family and friends! Now we are ready for spring...if it ever gets here!
