Easter

This is a late post, but I guess better now than never. I decided to let the kids decorate some eggs at our house for Easter, as they were doing them it dawned on me that we usually do eggs at my Grandma Knutti's. So I told the kids that we would only do a few. We loaded everything up and went to Grandma and Grandpas and surprised them to color eggs at their house. Grandma was so excited. She said that she wanted to do eggs but there was no one to do them for. We had a really good time. Ashlee came over and helped. She said that she didn't remember the last time she had colored eggs.

On Easter we went down to the Postma's farm and had a BBQ, egg hunt and the kids played softball. Billy's cousin Charlene made a spot just for Jesee since she is the only baby. All the other eggs were all over out in the field. I think all of the older kids had a really good time. Jesee loved picking up the eggs and putting them in the basket. There was tons of yummy food that everyone brought. I think the food is one of my most favorite parts. One of the friends there had an explorer that had some racks up on top and some of the older kids were sitting on top of it just visiting. Before too long they were begging their mom to take them for a ride in the field. She drove really slow and they looked like they were pretty safe. It was pretty funny, it looked like they were on a safari ride. One of the grandma's was having a heart attack. The kids had fun though. Years ago the whole Postma family would have Easter at the farm before Grandma and Grandpa passed away and they would play softball, it was a lot of fun back then. Deten took all of his baseball stuff with him and all the kids played softball. Grandpa Bill even got in a played for a few minutes. We had a really good time with the Postma family. Billy was not able to be home for Easter because he was in West Virgina working. After we got done we went up to the farm house and visited with Aunt Jill and took some left over food and saw some of her animals. He did get to spend Easter with a family that he met and he had met and had a good time. It beat spending it in his room all by himself.
