what fun we had! saturday morning easter egg dying and saturday night easter bunny cake making. a much anticipated easter dress and shoes. brunch with G.G. and bob miller, dinner with the fam. an easter egg hunt and a birthday walk in the woods.

dying easter eggs!

mixing the frosting for the bunny cake!

the bunny cake!

jacob and ada! they really love eachother and have their own special bond. they light up eachothers faces when the other walks into the room. melts our hearts.

the light was perfect at g.g.'s house. and ada is too!

What a fun brunch with Grandpa, Will (jacob's birthday brother) and ginny.

the kids all gravitate to the wall to climb.

hunting for eggs! these big kids found their eggs and then helped the little ones find theirs. what kind cousins.

mine easter dress! mine easter shoes! annie would wear this dress everyday! it is clean again so she will probably wear it tomorrow to e.c.f.e.

Happy Birthday Elizaeth! we started the day with a hike at dodge. pictures to come tomorrow as this post is picture heavy enough.

love these 2.

to the farm

We went to the farm last week so Aaron could get some tiling done at our house while we were away. What fun we had. We even spent a day to celebrate Grandma's 89th birthday in Iowa. I gave up on naps for the week and what a fun vacation had by all!

at john and mandy's. we love their house. thank you for being such gracious hosts to us!

chatting about something!

happy to have gotten him inside for a picture with g.g. he was so busy playing outside with harriet the whole time we were there!

at g.g.'s house. the kids loved playing in the wagon and grandma loved spoiling the kids with sugary treats!

annie mixing milk (formula) for the calfs. she took her job very seriously and never missed it morning and night while we were there.

happy to be helping!

jacob moving hay. he also loved chore time!

ada already reading up on country living. getting a head start!

ice skating

we went ice skating a while back. just found these pictures on dad's camera. so fun. Annie loved it. I can't wait for next year when there will hopefully be colder weather.

skyway fun

pioneer press building. we were amazed at the old elevators and how tall and cold the building was. is it empty? everyone is looking up to try to find the top.



what we saw when we looked up. so cool.



we took the opportunity to run the sky way system of st. paul monday morning. the kids had a blast. there were 8 kids total and the four oldest even started a new architecture firm called tigan tigan haeg and haeg. we had fun walking by buildings that parents and grandparents work in. a fun, wild morning had by all for sure.











union depot was also very cool.

christmas toys!

Jacob and annie have been happily playing with their new toys since they were opened christmas morning. Really, I'm not sure they have ever played with one toy for so long. Legos, playmobil, minnie mouse, remote control car, skirts and dress up!
so fun!
