A Blessed 2020 Easter

We are extra thankful for the blessings we have this Easter! 5 weeks ago, I don't think any of us ever imagined we'd still be quarantined at home.

The kids had to complete a list of tasks to get the coordinates to their hidden Easter surprise 
Burpees
Pick a lemon off the tree in our yard and suck on a slice of it


Recreate their famous performance of We Build This City from a few years ago
Sing Row, Row, Row Your Boat with a Peep in each cheek
Using the coordinates, walk arm in arm to find your hidden surprise
His hair is extra poofy these days, which is adding to his height.  It won't be long until Camden is taller than Emma!
They found the surprise!
New Chromebooks
One blessed Kasparek family!

We made a Snicker-doodle cake (it was delicious!)
Afternoon egg hunt in the yard


Herky living his best life
