celebrating easter

the easter bunny and jesus made it quite a weekend for the oak park millers.  we batted a thousand this morning, getting both boys up, finding eggs, surviving jude's chocolate high, getting everyone to church, teaching the 3 year old class, and managing to get the boys posed for a few photos before crashing for their naps.  what a nice easter morning to celebrate. and how fun to hear and see the amazing story of jesus, through the eyes of three and four year olds in the class today.

the child models were done for the day by the time kara sat down apparently
the chickens who lay those plastic eggs were busy in barrington.  they had to supply 3500 eggs for the giant easter egg hunt at kara's aunt's church.  jude had hunting after finding about 15 of the yellow ones.  so nice to see the mixter family at the festivities.

jude is fascinated by girls in general, but especially his cousins.  our trip to visit cousins andrea and meredith got totaled with the car crash.  so we made it a point to see the mixter girls when they were in town.  jude had a blast learning about the computer games of teenagers.

perhaps the best unexpected part of yesterday's visit was...the hill!  that is tiny jude at the top.


 the church apparently has a staff person who hangs out up there to greet the kids, but also help send them back down when mom and dad call.  love it!
