The Millet Family: Easter

April 25, 2014

Easter

We celebrated a lovely Easter last weekend.

Some friends invited us over for an egg hunt on Saturday and the boys had a great time finding candy.

Then we had a few friends over for lunch and another egg hunt. I think Travis hid over 100 eggs.

Can you spot the hidden egg?

The kids after the hunt.

On Easter morning, we got the kids all dressed up for church and took some pictures by the rose bushes -- which are currently gorgeous.

Look at my grown-up guy.

Happy Easter!!
