I will tell the story in pictures. We started the Easter weekend off with a fun time at the Jersey Barnyard for an Easter egg hunt and time with the animals. Madeline couldn't wait to see the piglets.
Then she fed some chickens.
And Roan watched quietly.

Feeding the calf with Opa
The Easter Egg hunt. Madeline was VERY selective on which eggs she wanted to pick up. Only the pretty colors she said.
Saturday night she made their Easter nest for the Easter Bunny to bring her "goodies." If anyone isn't familiar with the history of the easter nest....click here. We have made Easter Nests since I can remember and couldn't wait to see what he would bring to our nest. Many people I know do an Easter Basket...but not us....the good ol' German tradition lives on with the building of the Easter Nest at the Willrich House. Your nest has to have lots of nice grass and pretty flowers for the bunny to lave your goodies on.
Final product...all the pretty (real)flowers.
A little down time with Oma before bed
and some play time with Opa.
Roan LOVED the chocolate bunny he got in his nest Easter morning.
Can you feel the love??
Roan was also baptized on Easter Sunday. It was a wonderful service and baptism.
