What a surprise when we came home from the Olive Garden and Kimmy, Jared and boys had cut up the tree that had fallen and had it all stacked and everything cleaned up.  A big thank you to all of you.  What a super huge blessing.  We sure do love you all.

We went to church.  It was nice having Kenzie and Travis there.  After church, we went to the Olive Garden for lunch.  We had 17 of us come (3 visitors).  Dennis came later and isn't in the picture.  

The food was great and we sure had a fun time.  We left there and came home to find Kimmy, Jared and the boys working in our yard.  We sure were blessed to see that tree gone and the sticks in the yard picked up.  What hard workers they are!  We went in the house and Vikki, Kenzie and Travis were there too.  Rody, Peyton and Isaac came after a little while.  Melissa, Bruce, Max, Jack and Evan came at 3.  Kenzie, Travis and Jared hid the eggs in the yard.  The kids were sure fast finding those eggs this year.  They had them all picked up in no time.  The Laux's dropped Hailey off and we were happy to have her here in time for baskets.  After the baskets were hid, we had the three youngest go first.  Then they hid Jack and Eli's basket and they went next.  Then Max, Hailey, Adam and Jacob found theirs.  It was funny because Vikki was trying to hide Jacob's basket and the bag his was in broke.  Jared had the idea to just sit it on the coffee table then.  Jacob looked all over and couldn't find it and then Melissa told him, "there's your basket" and showed him.  She didn't know he hadn't found it.  He had thought it was the adult's basket of candy.  We had a good laugh.  

I ordered pizzas and Vikki, Kimmy, Travis, Kenzie and I went to see the Eagles before we picked them up.  The Eagle was out on a branch at the first next and we could see him so good and took pictures.  We drove down the road and saw two more eagle nests along the same road and there was an eagle out on a branch  just like the first one.  These nests are farther away from the road so we didn't get pictures.  Sure were amazing to see though.  We all loved it.  We picked up the pizzas and bread sticks and came home and prayed together, then ate.  The kids all had fun playing soccer and jumping on the trampoline.  What a great day celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus and hanging out with our wonderful family.  We sure are blessed!
