Easter 2009

(*I am done struggling with the captions, the spacing is weird and they are a little out of order, but it was wiggin and I can't get it straightened out!*)

AND I forgot that the pics load backwards.... so in reverse order of the day.... 

Here is our Easter.... 

We went to our friends', the Bantas, with a few other families. Delicious food, fun, and lots of laughs! Thanks again Brady and Vicki for another holiday enjoyed with friends! We love you guys! Without friends like these we would drown in our sorrows, being So Far from our family.

 

Riley and her friend, Shelby, (pictured below) straightened Nate's hair again. (pictured above!)

                                             

  

  I grabbed a shot of sweet Vicki, she is usually taking pics and not in them. 

               Two of the Banta girls... Hallie, brunette in pink, is in the same grade as Jacob, and very sweet. Bailee, blond in blue, is in Ellie's class and they are precious friends.   

The family pictured above- the Oyens, Matt, Stacy and their boys. We go to church together and enjoy getting together for laughs as well.

                     Here is Charlie Banta. Quite a charmer.
      I made mocha brownies with powdered sugar stencils for decoration and....
                              Tiramisu Brownie Trifle. :-)
