Easter weekend

Easter, I love you so much!! We spent our weekend visiting the Tulip Festival (plenty of pictures to proof it), having lunch with the Morris family, searching for eggs, decorating eggs, eating plenty of candy from the Easter baskets, making Challah bread and a new ham recipe, enjoying the messages at church, having an Easter feast; and most important, taking time to think about the greatest miracle of all.

Unfortunately Corbin was sick for most of it. He stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's while we went over the mountain to the festival and on Sunday he stayed home and slept while we went to church :(



















We really enjoyed seeing the beauty at these gardens. The walk was really LONG for some of our kids. Corbin was debating on whether or not he should just try and come, but his energy was so low. After realizing how long the walk was, it was a good choice for him to stay with Grandpa. He saved up his energy for the egg hunt and 'Exercise Academy' with cousins. :)

:: after dishing up our plates, I was super disappointed with myself on the lack of color in our food (my mom taught me better)::


We hated having Corbin be so sick throughout the weekend, but the beauty of Easter is that some days are dark and gloomy but Sunday will come!
