Easter Weekend!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Wiers and Aunt Abby!

G & G drove out on Thursday night and spent the day with Jeremiah on Friday (because I had school on Friday.... poor me). I guess they spent most of their time watching "Praise Baby," because this is the only picture that my mom texted me all day:

I think J and "Gampa" had just finished dancing to the music when this picture was taken.

Auntie Abby flew into Des Moines Friday afternoon, and then we hit the Pizza Ranch for dinner! Sorry, no pictures. :(

On Saturday, Grandma Wiers gave Jeremiah his Easter basket! He loves his little chickie!

Try not to be distracted by Abby's out of control hair in this picture.

We also did some grocery shopping on Saturday, and mom, Abe, and I got pedicures! And now I realize how bad I was at taking pictures this weekend. :(

Saturday night we hit The Machine Shed for dinner. Jeremiah got to drive a tractor!

Such concentration.


*Sigh* My big boy.

We had a very nice time at the restaurant-- let me just say that we are very blessed to have a child who (for the most part) loves to go places and behaves so well at restaurants. I probably just jinxed myself.

He loves to color!


I'm a teacher-- I can't help myself.

Look at this yummy food!

Just kidding-- that's liver & onions! I think that was the highlight of the weekend for my mom (she's the one who ordered it-- not me!).

After dinner it was time for a bath, stories, and bed for our tired little guy.


He loves bath time!


Grandma reading to the grandkids.

Sleepy baby...


Easter morning we had a nice, relaxing time before church, which included Grandpa Wiers' famous pancakes. Jeremiah got his Easter basket from mommy and daddy!

Trying so hard to open the egg. What's inside?


As you can see in this video, the puffs in the easter eggs were a big hit (with both Jeremiah and Molly). :)

"Gamma," Abby, and Jeremiah enjoyed watching a little "Praise Baby" before church.

It's hard to tell if Jeremiah or Abby is enjoying it more.

Church was wonderful, as we remembered the real meaning of Easter-- He is risen! :)

Jeremiah was all dressed up in his Easter outfit!

Happy Easter from Jeremiah (and Molly)!

After church we had a wonderful ham dinner (or was it roast?). We had a relaxing (meaning, naps!) afternoon, and then we took a walk and hit the park!


Here's Auntie Abby encouraging my little baby to do dangerous things (like climb up the steps)!!!


At least she went down the slide with him instead of just pushing him down by himself.

Again, who's enjoying it more-- Jeremiah or Abby?

After the park and a little walk, it was time for....


Peach pie-- YUM! And J fought Molly for some ice cream:


And this morning it's back to reality. Mommy and Daddy back to work, J is back at Ms. Michelle's, and "Gampa" and "Gamma" and "Bee" are heading back to Milwaukee and Chicago. As always, the weekend went by much too fast. :(

We hope everyone else enjoyed a wonderful Easter!
