We had a beautiful Easter weekend, and I hope you did too. I only have a few pictures on my camera, so I will ask Jay to upload his this weekend. On Good Friday we colored eggs, and James and I made a bunny cake from scratch. On Holy Saturday I prepared a few dishes for the next day, set the table, and our friends Alex, Reg, Nick and Nate came over to play. It was so much fun to see them! On Easter Sunday the kids woke up and this year they had to hunt for their baskets. The Easter Bunny (EB) hid James' in the shower on the 4th floor and Katie's by the couch on the 2nd floor. James got a bit frustrated as he didn't find his in the first 5 minutes of hunting. That EB is sneaky!!!! Then we all got dressed and went to church. It was a wonderful service, and Father Carl had a wonderful message about hope. So incredibly relevant and inspiring. His homily made me cry. Then, when we went up for communion, Fr. Carl said that I was the picture of hope. So true, and so touching. I just have to do everything doctors tell me, put my faith and trust in God, and pray and hope that I have many more years to enjoy my family before I leave this earth.
Everyone came over to our home for Easter dinner, and brought goodies baskets and yummy dishes for dinner. We enjoyed an easter egg hunt outside, and then James had fun recreating the hunt inside for the little girls. Half way through the day, I was just too tired and needed to take a nap. My poor mom got stuck with clean up duty by herself. Something else I owe her for.... Here are some pictures from the day. More from Jay's camera to follow.
