 Next is our annual family hunt.  I think this is the only group pic I got of the kids Easter clothers (and 1 kid is missing)!  Corynne made her dress this year.

After church, we went over to Aunt Sheryl's for dinner and a hunt with a few cousins...

Colleen was a distraction to the group kid pic.  She wanted Samuel's eggs!!!
