Easter has Finally Arrived!

Family Photo, 1st in a long time!
Let me start by saying, I'm sorry, yet again, for the delay in posting Easter. I was pretty tuckered after our full Sunday, and then the week got away from me. I told aaron that any more Sunday holidays I would be taking the Monday following off. It's just too tiring in my **cough** old age. This will also allow me to...hopefully...post on that day off...hopefully....

Enough apologizing and on to Easter :

We had a great day, starting with a unique church service that was a narrated story of the conception to the risen Jesus. Full of songs old and new, some comical and some serene. 
Then off to the grocery store for our weekly food run (yeah that part was tossed in because we had an hour to kill before Aaron's family was back from their church service) and then on to Easter fun, food and activities!

The weather of course , like most our intranet outdoor days this year decided it would rain...for the first time in 3 weeks, and it's much needed so you try not to complain, but seriously why not the day before or the day after. Oh well.  So the weather held, albeit a bit chilly, for our Easter egg hunt.  The kids had a great time as you can see in the pictures and videos. Lucas needed a little guidance, but started to get it about half way through the hunt.  

We found all 12 real eggs, good thing I made sure how many we had because one was MIA for about 5 minutes.s. The kids had a great time eating the majority of the candy from their eggs and baskets, and were none tolerated when the parents cut them off, for a real meal.  

Bob and Bridget cooked a beautiful ham that was cut up for sandwiches. My sister in
Tuckered
Aw's&d sister in law (did you follow that?) made some delicious lemon bars, of which I had at least 3, maybe more... And Tim, Aaron's brother, made a yummy Lemmon cake.

We got home bout 4 and since the kids were tuckered, but there was no way we were going to get proper naps out of them, I threw them on the couch and turned on a show.  Lucas fell asleep about 5, and everyone was fed and put in to a nice cozy bed about 730 pm.

Happy belated Easter and look for more posts this week. 

*Disclaimer: We tried three times to get these kids' hair cut before Easter and everytime we went (and different places mind you) there was a 2 hour wait....so haircuts just happened this weekend 4/11/15 see the post coming later this week*
