Oden Adventures

I had a lot of fun making the Easter outfits this year, modifying some great patterns I found online & learning some new tricks.  I love the crochet + fabric look and I'm sure will try that again! 

The Saturday before Easter, we did our 'traditional' backyard Easter egg hunt - Oliver's first!

Egg hunt victors!

Super cutie boy!

Back inside to see what's inside the eggs!

Then we colored some eggs - which only looks serene in this picture :-).  Vianne is an expert after last year, but Oliver's a little too grabby to do this effectively yet ;-).

When they were dry, it was time for stickers!

The lovely results!

Vianne needed to eat one, "to make sure they are good". ;-)

Easter morning breakfast - cinnamon rolls & bacon!

Pre-church photo shoot to humor Mama

Our church met outside in the park across from the high school where we usually gather.  A gorgeous day & wide open space made for a lovely place to rejoice together in our risen Lord Jesus!

This gave Vianne lots of space for dancing! :-)

Back home for some ham steaks!
