Easter 2009

We had a great Easter weekend this year in Clinton despite the weather Sunday not being so "springy". Saturday, we took the kids downtown to the Easter Egg Hunt on the Clinton Square. The weather Saturday was AMAZING! The boys played most of the day outside in the backyard and later, went to the Huenfeldt's Farm with all the boys in the family to see farm animals and drive "Tug" the tractor. Saturday night we enjoyed the company of cousin Lydia, Allen and little Alexandra. Sunday morning, after the kids woke up to their Easter baskets from the Easter bunny, we attended Mass at Holy Rosary (well...we tried. The kids were a handful...we didn't walk away feeling very fulfilled!). We were joined by extended family & friends for Easter dinner and had a cold, wet Easter Egg hunt in the yard. Despite the disappointing weather, it was a wonderful Easter with family. Baby Kate
Nick loved Easter dinner...Turkey, Ham, Brisket, Potatoes, Rice, fruit, beans...yeah, it was a FEAST!

Wow...none of them are crying?
In our Sunday Easter best.
The boys were lucky enough to go to the Huenfeldt's (Cousin Miles' family) farm to see animals and drive a tractor!


Kate and Jonathan with ducks...Jonathan LOVED the ducks...as did Kate, but Kate was not so gentle!
The mad scramble!
It didn't take Kate long at all to figure out what to do do with her bucket and eggs!
