Easter in Muskegon

This past weekend I headed up to Muskegon Michigan with Jeff G and Kurt Roberts to see the Ciccone's. I first met Tim and Maria when I was a sophomore in high school and Tim was an intern at 4C's. Then after I went to CBC Tim hired me to be his intern at Crossroads Covenant in Forest Lake Minnesota. So basically, we go way back...like 10 years back. Maria has some really great pictures of me in high school that should probably just stay in her scrapbooks. Anyways, it's always great to see them and I love that they are only a few hours away. Another really fun thing is that they have 2 great boys now and it's fun to watch them as parents now. Caleb and Josiah are great kids and it was fun to be around them.

It didn't really feel like Easter though because it snowed the whole weekend! Kurt and Jeff shoveled Friday morning, not really a typical Easter weekend activity...

The snow didn't matter much though because we mostly played inside with Caleb or sat in front of the TV playing guitar hero. I'm kind of considering taking up guitar except for the fact that my fingers started to hurt after awhile, or maybe that was because we played for 7 hours straight! This was Kurt and Caleb's jam session while we were babysitting...


After church we stopped and got some treats and Caleb picked out the muffin with the most chocolate on it which ended up getting all over his handsome Easter outfit... oh well, at least it tasted good! To avoid tracking chocolate all over the house, Caleb's handsome outfit came off at the table and then he ran off the chocolate as the Easter bunny...so funny


Kurt told us about a tradition that his family has of having egg wars on Easter. They decorate an egg and then fight each other with them. You have to crack your opponents egg with your egg before they crack yours with theirs...strange...but we did it and it was fun...


Check out Caleb's hair in the background of this pic, oh and this is Josiah...


Anyways, that was Easter. So fun and relaxing but cold, I'm ready for spring to come...

I freaking love that family..and that house. Did you all stay there? cause if so, that's pretty crowded. How did you like the pink bathroom? Good times.

Good talking you today... hope we can talk more soon!
