The Saturday before Easter, we had lunch at Granny and Grandpa’s house. Great grandparents, Great Uncle Mark, Uncle Chris, and Cousin Brad were there too. We dyed eggs and Grandpa setup an egg hunt. It was the kids first hunt. Once they opened up the first egg and got the treat, they were hooked.

Here are some pictures from Halloween. It was a warm night and we took the kids trick or treating. We met up with all the friends and their kids at the Wood’s house for dinner, then off to gather up some candy. Brady was dressed like a dog and Corryn like a cat, since they mimic our animals’ sounds.
