Happy Easter

We have taught our kids that the true reason for Easter is not the bunny and the baskets he fills, but jesus and his story.  

We still put baskets out for the Easter bunny though...

and look for where he hid them in the morning...

 we also went to Grandma & Papa's for our annual celebration with Grandma's family...

 this year we made bonnets...

 

 and had an awesome bonnet parade around the Outpost!  It reminded us kids of our childhood parades...Thanksgiving parade around Uncle J and Aunt K's block in Racine and the parade we made from the little corner grocery store to our grandparents house for their surprise anniversary celebration(also in Racine-at the bottom of McKinnley hill for you that know the city).  It was a fun time, thank you Grandma and Aunt B for bringing back the parade tradition from my youth!

 We also had our annual Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma & Papa's!  Grandma and Aunt B fill 150+ eggs and then they are hidden around Grandma and Papa's yard for the kids to find!

Happy Easter Everyone!!!
