We had a low key and mellow Easter this year. With Eli's foot still healing, we decided to not go to the beach. The weather was wacky....rainy and chilly...so our planned egg hunt on Saturday was cancelled. The boys still had a great weekend. Each night during the Triduum, the boys and I read from the Bible to recount the events that happened each day. Eggs were dyed on Saturday in preparation for Easter Sunday.
Both boys were super into the idea of the Easter Bunny coming this year. We have never really talked it up, but Eli was super excited which got Jude super excited. Jude was up and out of bed several times checking to see if the bunny had come yet. He did!
Matt and I decided to go to the earliest service, so once we woke the boys, they were allowed to find their baskets and collect a few of the MANY eggs the Easter Bunny had hidden, but then they were great sports and got all dressed up in their best for mass.

Once we got home, they hunted for more eggs. Jonah needed a nap, but the big boys helped make the Resurrection rolls for our family brunch later. Eli looks forward to these every year, and Jude was a great helper this year too.
We are so thankful for the gifts God has given us.
Happy Easter, everyone!
Oh Church, come stand in the light!
Our God is not dead, He's alive! He's alive!!
