Easter weekend was a wonderful one - the weather was gorgeous, our spirits were high, Benjamin was in a terrific mood, and we got to spend time with friends. It couldn't have been better.
Saturday morning we had a potluck brunch and egg hunt with our neighbor friends down the street. It was a blast! The kids ate WAY too much candy, but Benjamin had a tons of fun and we enjoyed talking with our wonderful Ash Street friends. We're so lucky to live next to such wonderful people who just so happen to have wonderful kiddos around Benjamin's age!

That night, the nice weather turned to drizzling rain sadly, but the Westras still came over to enjoy some burgers and brats with us. The boys had fun playing, eating, and taking part in an impromptu egg hunt around the living room. Such cuties!
Easter morning was beautiful, and everyone was in awesome spirits in the Larson house. Benjamin woke up excited for his Easter basket, and each thing he pulled out garnered a big "oooh... look at dis!" I made a delicious breakfast while the boys painted a resurrection picture, and then we ate outside on the back patio. So peaceful!
Then it was off to church! Our church rents out a ballroom at a downtown hotel so that we can all be in the same room at the same time. It was another great service celebrating the risen Jesus and a beautiful trip downtown.
That afternoon, my dad came over so we could celebrate his birthday. Arlene and Amber were both out of town, but we had a blast eating tasty Dryer's ham and playing LOTS of Benjamin's favorite games: baseball and soccer. He was loving some play time with Grampa! He even loved listening to the tunes that dad and Grampa played as the evening wore on.

You know it was a good day when the wild one was in bed, passed out, by 7:40pm (a rarity in these parts!). So blessed are we.
Hope you had an awesome Easter weekend as well!
