Easter Celebration

This year we made a brave decision to stay in Chicago and spend Easter with friends.  Our past holidays at home we have always wished we would have just traveled.  It's just not the same not being home with the family.  Troy's always up for anything but I am the one who has been disappointed in the past.  I thought we would try again and just see.  It turned out to be a wonderful and a great weekend.  We spent Saturday night with friends cooking out and coloring Easter eggs with the kids.  The girls made a last trip to the store for an eventful shopping trip to get some last needed items for Easter Lunch.

This was an exciting weekend.  After lots of prayer our friends found out they were going to be parents, not my story to tell but it made the weekend together that much more precious and it aaas special to get to celebrate with them.

Anyway it was a lot of fun, the kids all had a blast playing together and the adult talked, it was very nice and the food was yummy.

 Saturday morning started with a Sylvan Lake Easter Egg hunt
