We had a great Easter with friends and family. We are grateful to have celebrated the resurrection of our Savior.
We had some of our best friends over for Easter dinner. Please notice the AWESOME centerpiece designed by dad (we did have to escort out one or two bugs).
Claire and Mom made some awesome place cards!
Dad made a bang-up lasagna - "Nate's famous lasagne" if you will...Funny story - Back when Hill and I were engaged, Hill's friends had a cooking club. Much to my dismay, I was not invited. At every meeting, I made Hill name the recipe, "Nate's Famous ..." A few months ago, our good friend Kerstin brought over some chicken and rice soup. It was very tasty, so we got the recipe. Well, the next week, I made the soup and altered the recipe a fair bit. I wrote down the recipe on a piece of paper and named it, "Nate's famous chicken and wild rice soup." I jokingly showed it to Hill. She subsequently lets Kerstin know that I had stolen her recipe and taken credit for it. I have never lived it down. I am working on the Nate's famous recipe book!
Emme could not have been any more excited, or focused, about the easter egg hunt.
Of course she sensed that there was something sweet inside those eggs. Once she got started, she was like a machine.
Emme is so sweet!
Claire of course was the veteran of the group - spotting plastic eggs in the most difficult spots.
Claire was not disappointed when her egg was opened.
Emme was very suspicious of anyone who came close to her precious eggs.
Claire and Emme absolutely love to play with Joelle. It has been such a blessing for them to have her as a good friend.
Of course mom had the girls looking all ready for the special day.
Emme is growing up so fast.
And Claire never disappoints.Til' next time - hopefully not 4 months
