We had a busy Easter weekend with lots of family in town and it was FUN! I already posted some pics from the zoo and the egg hunt. Saturday night we enjoyed NCAA tournament action as West Virginia took on Duke. My stepmother Julie hails from West Virginia and my brother in law is an alumni of Duke so we had an interesting dynamic.
Sunday morning was fun for all of us. The girls awoke to their stocked baskets and searched for eggs. We had eggs hidden inside...real eggs...do people do that anymore?? We always had that in our house growing up and Mom was awesome at remembering where they all were....did not want to forget where one was and find it 2 months later!! Ally would definitely enjoyed the dyed delicacy but that would gross me out. Anna found most of the eggs and we steered Caroline in the right direction.
James & Lydia and their boys and Mom and Dan joined us for church. We took some pics...hard to get everyone to a) look at the camera and b) smile and c) not get distracted. We did our best.
After church Gary and I hosted all for a yummy lunch then had some fun with the Wii. The kids are getting pretty good at some of the games and you can tell James and Lydia's kids enjoy theirs at home too!
Overall, great Easter...oh, almost forgot...made it through Lent without cheating!! I gave up sweets and french fries and it was tough. I was thrilled to indulge a bit and to remember the sacrifices Jesus made for us and how my sacrifices paled in comparison!!
