Our First Easter in Heidelberg

Happy Easter! We had a busy but terrific Easter day.

The boys were thrilled to discover their Easter baskets in the morning. Then we were off to church! After the children's sermon the kids were dismissed for an Easter Egg Hunt. Benjamin found one. Yes, one.
He can get a bit distracted at times and was probably preoccupied with something while the other kids quickly discovered the eggs. One of our neighbor kids generously offered him one of his eggs to add to his collection as well. And Samuel wound up with 4 eggs.
It sounded like they had a great time regardless of the number of eggs they found.

Immediately following church we enjoyed a yummy potluck meal (every first Sunday of the month is a potluck immediately following the Protestant service at the chapel... and luckily Easter fell on the first Sunday this year). So, I whipped up a batch of my sister-in-law's Pretzel Salad and we joined in the potluck.

Then we headed for home just long enough to change clothes and head back out for the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. Our neighborhood does NOT have it's shortage of kids so there was a good group all gathered and ready for the big hunt! The kids had a blast and the rain managed to hold off until the kids had found all the eggs.

Our busy morning allowed for a little downtime in the afternoon so Samuel and Grace both got their naps in before we enjoyed a nice family dinner.
