Happy Easter!!

Hello Everyone!
It is that time of year to post about Easter!! Hopefully everyone had as good of an Easter as we did!! Our day couldn't have been any better! It was absolutely a gorgeous spring day!! Warm, sunny and just beautiful!! Andy and I spent all day on Saturday preparing for the big day! Andy smoked a turkey in our smoker while I spent the day in the kitchen cooking. Sunday morning we all went to church and then came home, let the kids discover their Easter baskets and prepared dinner. The kids got binoculars (they love the outdoors!!) and Garrett got 101 Dalmatians and Emily got Tangled! We have already watched them both...a few times!! For dinner we made ham, turkey, potatoes, and marmalade glazed carrots. We also had, fruit and veggie trays, deviled eggs, and a candy bar salad. For dessert (the best part), I made a blueberry bread pudding that was DELISH! We also had a variety of cupcakes and....CANDY! After dinner we headed out for an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard and enjoyed some of this beautiful spring weather!! We enjoyed the day as a family and we loved every minute of it!! It is always so nice to get together with everyone!! And the kids were loving being spoiled by both sets of grandparents and their uncle, aunt and cousins!! We had a fabulous Easter and are truly blessed to have such a great family! Please enjoy the pictures of our best Easter yet!!

~Happy Spring!!~

Spring has been busy at the Plaggemeyer  house!! We've been busy buying everything we need to fence off our land. After we bought all that we ordered a few loads of rock for our yard. We now have a mud-free walk from our back door to our car and shed!! And it is SUPER nice!! And the best thing we've done, so far, is put up a swing set for the kiddos. For Christmas Santa and Grandpa and Grandma Plaggemeyer went in together and bought the kids a swing set. So when the nicer weather rolled around we bought one and then Andy's dad stayed for his three days off and helped Andy put the thing up!! We love love LOVE it!! (Just don't mention the assembly or instructions to either Andy or his dad!!! Hahaha!!). The kids have enjoyed it so much already and it's barely been up for 24 hours!! I am certain they've already tried everything out on it, and so far Garrett's favorite thing is the Captain's Ship glider!! He loves to go FAST!! And Emily is in love with going down the slide!! Well, that about sums up our spring so far. We will be doing our fence soon and getting ready for Easter!! Hope everyone is enjoying their spring and enjoying this BEAUTIFUL weather!! Will blog again soon! Until then, Happy Spring!!
