We had a great weekend in Omaha for the Easter holiday. Since Lauren was out of school Friday we headed up in the afternoon. We had lots to get done in the morning before heading out of town, but we left after lunch and made great time!
Friday night for dinner we enjoyed a fish fry. Lauren actually wanted fish, rather than mac and cheese, cheese pizza, or a grilled cheese sandwich. Addison, of course, wanted mac and cheese. After dinner we headed over to Mark's brother's house to hang out for the night. The girls had a blast playing downstairs in the basement will their cousins.
We spent Saturday morning looking at the house Mark grew up in as a kid and his elementary school. Lauren had been asking to see it and I enjoyed seeing it as well. We played the Wii over at Mark's sister's house. The kids loved watching the adults attempt to dance. Addison was attached to Rae Ann most of the weekend, Lauren read Dr. Seuss books with Aunt Chris. Lauren also showed Uncle Pat her Star Wars encyclopedia. Everyone seems to love the Star Wars encyclopedia.
Thankfully the Easter Bunny knew we were in Omaha and made a stop up there. Lots of candy, of course, and a few things that the girls simply needed. Under wear, tooth brushes, books are always good, and clothes of course. They both got an outfit.
We snapped a few pictures before heading off to church.
We attempted to get all 7 grand kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time. I did not realize the sun was making all of them squint. Bad placement of kids for a picture, huh? Maybe next time.
We had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Thank you Aunt Betsy and Uncle Pat for getting all the eggs ready and making sure the kids had an Easter egg hunt on Easter.
Two beautiful girls and a wonderful Easter weekend. They were so sad when it was time to leave. It was a great time.
