Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was spent doing the usual Kellogg thing... eating!  Rainah woke up and quickly found her hidden Easter basket- she immediately took a liking to the Cadbury chocolate eggs.  We waited for Jill, Dave, and the boys to come over after church and then the kids went on their Easter egg hunt- they each had two colors and they all did great finding theirs.  We had a delicious ham dinner and as always amazing desserts!  Jessica and Justin were on the road and were greatly missed, but all in all it was a great day!  

Kissing cousins

Talan didn't want any part of sitting for pictures

So we bribed them with cookies

But that didn't last too long

Then Rainah tries to make a break for it but gets the leg

Whatcha gotta do to get a cookie in the Kellogg house!

The Easter egg hunt begins...

Bet ya never saw one of these... a nose harmonica!

Easter 2008

This year, Rainah and I came over a few days before Easter to hang out a little with the fam. Rainah wasn't feeling well, so mom and dad went to church Saturday and then I tagged along with Jessica and Justin on Sunday morning while they watched her. Service was awesome (I mean, what other church plays a Nickelback video and sings a Coldplay song complete with some pyrotechnics for Easter Sunday??)
When we got back home, Hayden was just beginning his Easter egg hunt and pretty soon after, Don arrived. We had a super yummy ham dinner (which Rainah devoured!) and later went to see our fav, Will Ferrell, in Semi-Pro (thanks again, mom and dad, for babysitting!)
Here are some of the highlights:






Eating rocks (I guess she didn't know that ham was on the menu for later)


Daddy's here!

The Bunny Train

This weekend we didn't have too much going on and it was very cold outside. This morning we decided to take Rainah on the Coopersville Marne Bunny Train... it's a train ride where the cars are decorated for Easter, there are songs, and the "Easter Bunny", a sheep, and a chick came in and danced around and sang with the kids. There was even a princess who came and read a few books to them. It was incredibly cheesy, but Rainah seemed to have fun, especially when they started singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". She even got a little stuffed bunny to bring home. Here are the highlights:
