and then we had fire

easter croquet

quinn loved watching everyone play croquet....."i see you"
a few lessons, some trial and error, and then wa-la.....one amazing 5 year old player!

good game!

painting some eggs


the kids had so much fun preparing for easter, the eggs turned out very colorful.

bring it on!

ryder got all ready to play the entire family in table ping pong. now, legion has it that the christopher family is quite spectacular with all racket sports (great grandma elvera was amazing at ping pong) and so ryder has been wired with some of this raw talent, and attitude...not sure where that comes from:)

awesome action shot!

visitors


our good friends, amanda, jamie, lexie, and baby samuel came from chicago to visit us. the girls are almost the same age, so had tons of fun together. this is when they were chillin and watching elmo, it must be relaxing to pick your nose while watching a movie......i just may try that trick again:)

the second half

well the second half of the road trip wasn't as amazing as the first, but we somehow made it all the way to wisconsin. we sang a thousand songs, played every car game possible, ate snacks all day long (i swear quinn said "i hungee" like every 5 minutes), watched a movie, read books, took naps, and any activity mom could create......like beading! it was a fun trip, but we are glad to be out of the car!

we got to meet calvin


it was so fun to hang with amy, matt, and calvin in denver, they are just such a sweet family! the kids loved playing with calvin and all his toys, and i loved doing all my dirty laundry from our road trip (thanks again amy!!). we love you guys, and hope to see you in madison soon;)
