Easter Festivities 2011!!!

After a wonderful Easter morning and Sabbath spent at church, we drove up to Loomis to celebrate Easter in Schmidt Family style! Must have, a huge game of soccer! Ryan and Austin had a ball playing with their cousins and Aunties!!!
Ryan found the grass sled and he and Nathan had a blast! "Spin me Auntie!!!" Playing soccer with Auntie Aubrey! We finally took a rest from all of our playing and enjoyed a yummy dinner prepared by Great Grandma Schmidt! (Every meal she prepares is delicious!) What would Easter be without and Easter Egg Hunt?! Off they go! On the hunt!!! Checking out their loot! In addition to the eggs full of candy and money, my Grandma Schmidt does this fun thing where she also makes numbered hard-boiled eggs. Once all of the eggs have been found, the kids go up in numerical order and pick some fun prizes that just don't quite fit into those Easter eggs! Ryan got these silly glasses and gave himself the name Mr. McGuinney!Austin picked the carrot jump rope and tried with all his might to figure it out! It was quite hilarious!All of the big kids counting up their earnings! There was definitely a competition to see who found the most! After our Easter Egg Hunt, we headed inside for dessert, and to sing "Happy Birthday" to Great Papa Schmidt whose birthday was 2 days later! Papa with cousin Mary who just ADORES him! We had an amazing Easter, and hope you did too!!!
