Happy very belated Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend, filled with fun activities and time for reflecting on the true meaning that we celebrate - our risen Lord. We are so fortunate to have family around us to help us celebrate. We started out Saturday with an egg hunt at Briarlake (where we attend church), followed by dying Easter eggs at home.

Overnight, the Easter bunny paid a visit and left fun little trinkets and what-nots in Evan and Pressley's baskets. After checking out the loot, it was time to get ready for church. After church, the whole family came back to our house for a late lunch and another Easter egg hunt. We have a wonderful community green space in our neighborhood, which is perfect for hunting eggs, so the daddies hid eggs while the women-folk cleaned up after the meal. Then, Evan, Pressley, Will and Abby hunted for more eggs. We finally called it a day around 4 o'clock and good naps were had by all. Whew!

There are many more photos under the April 09 photo link.







(Because for the last two years, the only pictures I have of my kids in their carefully co-ordinated Easter outfits are separate and in the church parking lot with the pavement as the backdrop, I asked my dad to take the kids out and photograph them while I was getting ready to serve lunch. He took 65 pictures of these children and there is not a single one in which they are both looking at the camera and smiling. This is the best one I've got of the two of them together. Maybe someday....)
