Easter

Okay, so I’m a little behind on this post, but I figured better late than never, right? So we had a nice Easter morning.  The kids got a little something from us in their baskets.  Eli was excited and said something like “What else did the Easter bunny bring us?”  to which I replied “These baskets are from Mommy and Daddy”  He was not okay with that, he quickly corrected me and said “You are not the Easter bunny, mommy, it’s not nice to pretend to be the Easter bunny!”  What could I say to that?!  So, rather than argue I changed the subject 🙂  We then got ready and headed for church.  After church we went to my mom’s house for a Belgian waffle lunch.  We had strawberries, blueberries, pecans, peaches, syrup and sausage.  Not your usual Easter meal, but we decided to keep it simple.  Since the weather was a bit cold and dreary, the egg hunt was indoors and the kiddos loved every minute of it.  We put the kids down before lunch, but Lucy was not having it, so after she persisted we went and got her out of bed.  My first thought was that she would be a bit of a pill without sleep, but she was quite the opposite.  She hammed it up all afternoon and never got a nap!  She was in one of the best and funniest moods she has ever been in!  We loaded up early evening and headed home just in time for stories and bed.  It was a great day.  Oh, I almost forgot.  In Eli’s Sunday school class their memory verse for this month is “Christ has risen” Matthew 28:5-6.  We have been practicing saying it, ya know memorizing it as the term memory verse implies :),  and so he was walking through the halls of church saying it over and over.  It was sweetie sweetie.  And last, but most important HE IS RISEN!!!! Hallelujah, Praise the LORD!!!!
