Easter in Topeka

For Easter this year, the Lamar Von Feldts travelled up to Topeka to be with Grandma and Grandpa and also the Olathe VonFeldts. We all stayed overnight at Grandma and Grandpa's house. As always, it was soooo fun!

Grandma was not quite as concerned about bedtime as the moms usually are. No surprise there. Little girls were dying eggs at 9:00 pm, and aftwerward Haley and Jacob and Grandma went shopping for Haley's birthday present (an iPod)! But no harm done. The girls were still up at 3:00 am the next morning, excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought.

The cousins enjoyed an Easter egg hunt together on Easter morning. This was the first year that the Easter Bunny did not visit Jacob, presumably because he has gotten too big. Instead, Jacob's job was to help his little brother Aidan battle the crowds and get to some of the eggs. Actually, all of the siblings and cousins made sure the littlest one got to enjoy the wonder and fun of discovering eggs throughout Grandma and Grandpa's back yard.

The major obstacle was the cold. It was 20 degrees outside Sunday morning! Brrrrr. Teeth chattered. Fingers froze. But it was nice and warm inside, where everyone dumped out their eggs, took inventory, and bargained and traded.


Later, we had a spectacular Kansas Easter dinner. Here is Grandma with all the food:
