Becca and Maia spent the week here, and we had them over on Tuesday to dye eggs. This was Madeleine's first experience with dyeing eggs, and she did pretty well with it. Her favorite part was the glitter shaker. Happily, we managed to glitter the eggs without glittering the entire kitchen in the process. It was also Maia's and Noah's first time, too, but Maia missed out by sleeping through it, and Noah missed out by not having a clue what was happening.

On Friday we packed up and went to Belleville, and on Saturday morning we celebrated Easter with Shannon's family. We did Easter baskets for the kids and then we had an egg hunt inside. (It was 26 degrees and incredibly windy)
Madeleine discovers the baskets. "A party! It's a party!"
After the egg hunt, we had to pack up again and head back home. We met my family at my parents' house and drove to Holts Summit to take a look at the new house they just signed on and will be moving to this spring. We had Easter dinner with my family, and then spent the night at my parents' house and woke up to do Easter morning with them. We went home, showered and changed and drove to Portland for the Schmid Easter. The Schmid family is my mom's side, and each year we have Easter dinner and an egg hunt. We visited for a little bit, then after the egg hunt, we had to pack up one last time and head to Columbia for the 5:30pm Lifeteen Mass. Our good friends Ricky and Tania Willmann had asked us to be godparents to their son Craig and he was getting baptized at that Mass. I'll have pictures and more stories later about the rest of the weekend.
