Our Easter Vacation in Nebraska....

Hoping you all had a blessed Easter!!!
We had a wonderful time in Nebraska visiting my family. Jeremy had some meetings in Omaha on Thursday, so we left real early on Wed, and headed West for Nebraska... (the good life) =)
It is always so good for me to be able to spend time with my Parents, Brother, Sister in-law, Nieces, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
We then headed home on Monday. So now I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I was going through my pictures and I had quite a few so bear with me. I love pictures and there were so many good ones. This is a real long picture post. If you do not care for pictures you might want to hit the little RED X.
Enjoy!!!
Seth enjoying the movie. All tuckered out from traveling & watching dvd's



So good to see this little munchkin...


One night I made up Easter baskets and we hid them. The kids had fun trying to find them.



One big thing that happend while we were in Nebraska was ......
This little girl lost her first tooth. (Thanks to Grandma) =)



Mom ,Chloe and I had a girls day out on Thursday. We went and got pedicures and did some shopping.
Chloe thought it was so much fun.

My Aunt Jackie



Seth & Ethan
A tradition we have done for as long as I can remember, and I have always treasured it.
All us cousins would go to Grandmas and dye Easter eggs on Good Friday. It was fun to be home for that. Chloe & Seth enjoyed it too!!!

Working hard trying to make their eggs beautiful.


After dying about 10 + dozen eggs. I think their face tells it all...



Jax liked Jeremy better than me...and Jeremy loved every minute of it.
It looks like Jax is telling me to back off!!!

On Friday evening we helped Jay and Sonya celebrate their 10th wedding Anniversary.
We had a great time!!! (Thanks Carrie for taking care of our kiddos.)


On Saturday Chloe and I had a visit with the Easter bunny....

Loved seeing your pictures! We saw the same Easter Bunny!! The girls told him that he needed to come to their Grandma's early since we would be driving home on Easter. He came! ;) They were so excited!

If not, you could make me some...pretty please? anyway, love you dearly and so thankful your back!

I loved looking at every single picture you posted, Jessi! It's obvious that you love your family very much and what a blessing to have them!

So glad you were able to spend a very special Easter with them this year. :)
