Josiah's first Easter

We were once again blessed to be surrounded by so many of our friends and family for the Easter weekend. We started out Friday night by welcoming 3 house guests for the weekend. My cousins Bill and Jerry and Jerry's dog, Casey came from Milwaukee to celebrate with us and we were very glad to have them!! They were exemplary house guests and didn't complain one bit about being woken up at the crack of dawn by a squealing 9 month old. Saturday we spent part of the day at my parent's house with mom and dad, Nykkole, Robin and Kyle and the boys, Marc and Jen, Brian and Blair, Grandma and Grandpa Greseth, Grandma Sissy, Jerry, Bill and 3/4 of our newest "adopted" family members, the Rogers'. Karl and the girls (Sophia and Jocelyn) joined us, momma Kristin had to work:-( We had a blast playing games and visiting and of course, stuffing ourselves silly with appetizers. We even dared a game of Risk and surprisingly, finished in under 6 hours! Seth, Josiah and I also ventured out to Grandma and Grandpa Friedt's farm for a few hours to enjoy more visiting and catching up with the Friedts...and of course, more stuffing ourselves with good food! We got to meet the newest member of the family, baby William who is 4 months old now and as sweet as can be! I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures this time but hope to get together soon with them so we can get a picture or two! Sunday after church, we were once again at my parent's house for a more "traditional" holiday meal since we were all so undernourished at that point in the weekend....riiiiiggghhht. But we were treated to a feast of ham and all the fixins including the world's yummiest cheese potatoes provided by Brian....excellent work Brian!! We also managed to squeeze in a few more games in between the Easter Egg Hunt, eating and naps. We missed seeing Grammy Cindy, Grandpa Gary, and Uncle Noah who are in Hot Springs, AR for the week but we are glad they are having a great time and look forward to seeing them when they get back! We are also looking forward to hearing all the details from Uncle Josh when he gets back from his trip to the practice rounds of the Masters! Here are some pictures from the weekend including a couple of collages since there were just too many cute pictures to pick from...enjoy!

Jocelyn and Sophia Rogers join the party!

Easter fun!

All ready to see what's in my Easter baskets! "You can keep the toys and new bibs, I'll keep the Easter grass!!"

"Wow, the Easter bunny is as generous as Santa!"

"Again, toys not necessary, I'll just chew on the decorations"

"Sweet, more Easter grass in this basket!!"

"All done partying, time to head home to my bed!"
