Friday

Daycare was closed for Good Friday, so we took the kids to the Hopkins Turf Tots. This has become an annual tradition, and they still enjoy it just as much as they did the year before. 

We ran into former daycare buddies Alex and Natalie. The kids all know each other and like playing together so it was a nice surprise:

After naps we went to the library:

We woke up early and went to Trader Joe's for an Easter Egg hunt. Last year we arrived a few minutes late and missed everything. This year, they organized the hunt a little differently, so that certain ages could gather eggs in certain aisles, making it more fair for the little kids. They had 3,500 eggs spread out on the floor, so I don't think they needed to worry about little kids not getting an egg, but it worked out really well! Caroline was in the 1-3 aisle, and I'm sure it was the most civil. Most kids needed urging from parents to pick up an egg, and then needed additional encouragement to get another. 

After the hunt, we headed back to New London to celebrate with the Swenson side. For the first time ever, we let the kids watch a video in the car. We rigged the iPad, so that it was hanging from the seat in front, and plugged in headphones. It was glorious. For the first time, in a LONG time, there was silence in the car. Bennett really enjoyed it, and Caroline fell asleep, as usual. It is a rare occasion when she doesn't fall asleep in the car, for a ride more than 20 minutes.

Grandpa and Grandma had an egg hunt set up, which the kids loved:

Sunday
Easter, we actually made it to church, for the first time since Christmas. Our track record is TERRIBLE, but we made it! Caroline was a huge fan of her tutu dress. She has yet to meet a tutu she doesn't love. Bennett, as expected, hated wearing pants and a button up shirt. The non-comfy pants weren't as horrible as the shirt though. The shirt was THE WORST.
