Easter plans anyone?

I tone down Easter, but we still celebrate it. We did the egg hunt this morning and the kids were so funny. They were hidden better this year because the kids are older. None of them were visible this year, at least not readily. It was fun watching them hunt!

Our church service was nice. I love to see the all Spring colors. Even the men wore brightly colored shirts today! It was very pretty. Some of them women even wore new hats! I do love that tradition.

Our boys looked very nice all dressed up complete with ties. Old 9 year old said he looked like a mini-dad. And he did.

This afternoon we're going to my in-laws for Easter dinner. I'm bringing Challah. It's just my little way of protesting while still remembering the real reason we celebrate today. The problem is...it did not rise!! LOL! I think that's rather prophetic considering it is Passover and all.

My mother and father came down Saturday and we all went to an Easter Vigil Mass, which is incredibly inspiring! It's an indescribable moment when all the lights come on, the bells start ringing, and they are singing Gloria! You really feel Jesus's total and complete victory over death.

After Pesach (a big meal), and two Easters (West and East- two big meals), I'm done. I've earned a rest. I'm so tired I can barely think and I've probably put on a lot more weight. Time to relax and recharge. God is very good to us all- my faith has been strengthened.
