Happy Easter!

Easter has come and gone... there are 4 multicolored boiled eggs in the fridge and a bunch of plastic eggs filled with gummies in the closet (away from Abby at the moment) The girls were all beautiful in their white dresses, pink shrugs and flower headbands. Abby even left hers on for a loooong time. It gives me hope that she will let me put them in her hair again! It does help that her sisters wear them so she wants to be like them (kinda funny)

The Easter service was beautiful and just filled with joy. The girls didn't seem to enjoy sitting as much as both K&K ended up in the back of the church and Abby made several dashes to get out. She was reading her coloring book during one of the prayers and saw a chicken. "Look chicken! Bak Bak Bak!.... Chicken! Bak bak bak" Yep she was making chicken noises as loud as she could. It was really hard not to laugh. She loves to talk during church which is our hardest struggle outside of running away. Her dearest friend Layla and Abby had a great time after church. They were running around the foyer hand in hand. When we finally had to leave Layla said "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!!!" It was so cute! I can't wait to get together and play again soon. Our two families have just been crazy busy these last few weeks and it hasn't worked out.

Afterwards we drove up to my cousin's place 2 hours away. I was SURE Abby would sleep the whole way there. Nope. She proceeded to scream the alphabet most of the way. It was a long 2 hours. At least the babies stayed sleeping... that's always my biggest worry with her screaming while she's in the car. We had a delicious lunch with great food. There are always a bunch of people that come and this time was no exception. The house was filled with people! The guys played football, the kids had an Easter Egg hunt and blew bubbles. I spent a large amount of my time keeping the babies happy though I did get quite a bit of help from my family with them. Abby missed having a nap completely....

She fell asleep within 5 minuets of our leaving the house. The babies took this as their cue to cry... and cry they did most of the way. So I spent a majority of my time in the back trying to get them to go back to sleep. Fuuuun. Tom's parent's came up to our house and Tom and his Dad are out building Abby's swing set right now. YAY! I'm so excited I can't WAIT to have that for her. She will absolutely love it. My parents bought it for her last fall as an earlier Christmas present but because we got snow so early last year it never got put up... then the drifts were so big they took up our entire yard! I'm not sure what the rest of the day holds, there are plenty of projects to get done and it sounds like Tom's mom and I will head up to town to run a few errands. I think Abby just went out to help the guys build the swingset and left the back door wide open... I think Kara is calling too. Hope everyone had a great Easter!
