Happy Easter

 Happy Easter ~ April 2015

We sincerely hope all of our friends and family who follow/read our little blog had a weekend full of many blessings.  We apologize for not keeping up with our weekly updates - things have been a little crazy in the Jacobsen household. 

From Papa coaching track, illness making its rounds, the day to day busyness this time of year at school... well, you get the idea. I have thought many times I should update the blog, and then have found myself nodding off on the couch with laptop in hand.  

We had a wonderful Easter Weekend and hope you enjoy seeing some pictures of our adventures.

We colored eggs in a non-traditional way this time. I found roll on paint for the eggs.  It was pretty messy, but more engaging for the kids instead of watching the egg sit in the cup.

We also attended a very unique Easter Egg hunt.  The church I attend in Eagle River, (ACF) dropped 10,000 Easter Eggs filled with candy from the helicopter.

When the all clear was given, kids and parents rushed to the hay piles to find the candy. I think maybe 2 eggs survived the fall and did not crack.  It was a lot of fun and had a great turn out from the community.  That's what I love about ACF - they are always thinking of ways to reach out to our community. 

Easter morning we were reminded that He is Risen and washes us white as snow!  After not much snow fall this winter and with spring like weather the past month, it was a bit of a shock to have snow on the ground.  It snowed most of the morning, but quickly melted away by the afternoon. 

The kids had fun finding the hidden eggs around the house and then enjoyed opening their Easter baskets. 

They also enjoyed their special gifts from Grandma Julie.

It was a very busy weekend, but we are so blessed to spend it with our family. 

Happy Easter ~ Much Love ~ The Jacobsen's
