We had a great Resurrection Day today! It started with our yearly potluck brunch at church. I made my mom's yummy caramel rolls, which were a hit like always. The kids had a great morning at church socializing with everyone and playing with friends (Lydia was even walking around during the brunch shaking people's hands!). Mike and I led music for the worship service, and then I spent the rest of the service in the nursery. The weather was gorgeous after we got out of church. A couple of older boys had their Ripstiks with them and showed off some tricks for our boys, which they loved! Do I dare write that after church we grabbed BK for lunch?! This wasn't my plan, but my 35-week pregnant body after an already busy morning wasn't up to thinking about lunch as well as our Easter supper. And, it was Mike's week to lead afternoon church services at the two nursing homes in our town. Kinda funny that we saw another pastor from town at BK, too!
After naps, we had an egg hunt in our backyard. The kids found their eggs that had quarters, dimes, and a few pieces of chocolate in them.
Then, the kids got their Easter baskets...sandals, bubbles, a few art supplies, and small Lego sets for the boys and books for Lydia.
Late in the afternoon, we had some nice rain move through - an answered prayer for our farmers. Then, we enjoyed our simple Easter dinner together. By the end of the night, we were all wiped out. We have made it clear that the boys have no reason to be up early in the morning. Here's to hoping they sleep in a bit!
