Easter 2015

I've always loved holiday traditions, and now that James and Charlie are old enough to enjoy the holidays (and in James's case, obsess about the holidays), I love traditions even more.

I wanted to share some pictures of two of our long standing Easter traditions.

The first is dyeing Easter eggs with their Grandparents on Good Friday.  James "helped" dye Easter eggs for the first time when he was 6 weeks old, during his first visit to Indiana.  With the addition of Caleb and Matthias, the number of grandchildren doubled from last year.  Amazingly, there weren't any spills, although Charlie did leave with a pink hand :)

Our second tradition is the annual Stengel Easter Egg hunt.  While they aren't the fastest Easter Egg Hunters, James and Charlie loved it.

Matthew and Matthias even joined in on the fun.

We attempted to take a family photo, but it didn't go so well...this was the best one we got.

One kid's eyes are closed, one kid is crying, and one kid is pouting.  And our legs are cut off.  We'll keep trying :)

Pa also held Matthias for the first time.  Such handsome men!

James is already planning our Easter Egg hunt for next year :)
