Happy Easter!

We had a fun Easter day at my dad and Angela's new place in Sioux Falls. Karina, Kelli and I hid treat-filled eggs around the house and along a walking path by the house. This was my first time really hiding eggs for kids over the age of five, so I was very excited to find really good hiding spots. I think that I had more fun than the kiddos.

 The wild animals were released for the hunt and the cheetah (Lauren) wasn't wasting any time while looking for her kill.

 Stella supervised.

 My brother, Kyle, left about 15 minutes before us and we caught up with him just a few miles north of Sioux Falls. Joe saw smoke coming out of a car on the side of the road and said "Is that your brother?" Good thing one of us was paying attention.

 Sami and Stella waited patiently in the car while we were stopped on the side of the interstate.

And we got a couple of extra passengers! Kelli and Makayla rode home with us while Kyle stayed back to take care of the car and picked them up later.  Poor Kelli was squeezed between my two divas and I didn't even hear a peep out of Makayla way in the back.  I am SURE that their crisis was much more fun for Sami and I than it was for them (Joe is indifferent). Even though Sami was exhausted and emotional, she LOVED the extra time she got to spend with Makayla.
