Easter Recap

Wow! Did we have a wonderful Easter weekend...it was so nice for a change to have Tim home all weekend and for a long one at that. He has been putting in SO many hours this was a nice break. We had 2 Easter celebrations this year. We had one at our house for Tim's side of the family and one at my moms. Luckily for me, they were on different days. We also had some time with friends squeezed in there with lots of great conversation and a couple of glasses of wine while the kiddos played and the dads watched the basketball games.



The big girls participated too....

kind of!


We could not have asked for a more beautiful day on Good Friday (when we had Easter at our house) and we celebrated untraditionally with a cook out instead of a big sit down meal. No one wanted to be inside with the weather so pretty out. The cousins had fun with the egg hunt and Sam was simply amazed to find out that those plastic "balls" had candy. He is a HUGE candy hound. He doesn't differentiate between candy either...they all are candy canes to him !









Easter Sunday was much more low key. Church services and some time for playing with the new games the Easter bunny brought. Off to my moms in the afternoon for a supper yummy dinner of Prime Rib. I swear, all I did was eat all weekend. The days were still gorgeous and we spent plenty of time outside again.









The cutest part was Emily teaching Sam about the Easter story. You see in Sams world everything is "I dont wan to". So of course when we told him it was time to go get ready for church and stop playing he announced "I dont wan too" Well, Emily just gasped and started scolding him (Yup, mama #2) and telling him "Sammy, you CANT say that, do you know what today is??? Do you know that today is the day that Jesus conquered the grave after he was dead? Do you even understand what that means??" Ummm, no of course he doesn't, but Em was positively indignant that Sammy didn't "get it" Poor Guy, no slack from Mama Em when it comes to do with Jesus. And thats a good thing!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!!!
Blessings
