Easter

This year's Easter celebration took place in Omaha. It was a rare year as Easter fell after tax season ended, so we had Ryan's undivided attention the whole weekend! We headed to Mike and Kim's house to kick off the family time Saturday evening. Kylie wasted no time checking out the treats that awaited her.

Cute and festive surprises from Kim & Mike

After dinner that evening we headed to the Embassy Suites in LaVista where Kim had hooked us up with a great deal on a room. Unfortunately, Kylie wasn't a fan of the new location and decided to hang out with us that night instead of sleeping. Fortunately, even when she doesn't get a good night's sleep it doesn't seem to damper her spirits the next day. It may have left mom and dad pretty tired though!

We attended Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church's Easter service which conveniently was being held at the Embassy Suites. After enjoying a yummy complimentary breakfast and snapping a few pictures in our hotel room we simply walked downstairs to church. It doesn't get much easier than that!

We packed up and headed back to the Zellers' house for the rest of Easter Sunday. After a delicious prime rib lunch, and a much needed nap for our little girl, the festivities continued.

She was SO excited to find out those eggs opened to reveal treats!

A thunderstorm on the way home from Omaha provided the perfect setting for Kylie to play in the rain when we arrived back home at the conclusion of a wonderful weekend.

Do you see what mom is letting me do?
