Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! We had such a fun Easter weekend! Yesterday our family was reunited for the first time in 2 weeks - yay! We had planned to go to church last night - we've done Easter service on Saturday night for the past couple of years..it's sort of strange but it works - and we invited some of our good friends, the Keeley's to come along with us. Between us we have 8 kids so we are quite something walking in together - ha! The husbands got the seats (wow was church crowded) while Erin and I got all the kids settled - thankfully 3 of our kids all went the same rooms. After church we came back to our house for a cookout. It was so fun to hang out with them and the kids all played and played and we ate and ate - fun times!

This morning we woke up to find that indeed Easter baskets had been left. Lily was thrilled to get "Diary of A Wimpy Kid" a book she's been wanting forever...seeing her face light up when she saw it in her basket was priceless! I still had to serve at church this morning so Paul and the kids dropped me off so I could hang out with some of my favorite kindergarteners. They picked me up right after church and we went out to Paul's mom's for her annual egg hunt and brunch. We were excited to have Aunt Mimi and Waggy there and Paul's Aunt Judy and cousin Kevin. We had a great brunch and then the kids set off for the egg hunt. Lots of candy and treats to be found!

We got home put Jacob down for a nap and the girls and I headed down to our neighbor's for an Easter gathering. More food, friends and fun! Paul and Jacob joined us after he woke up from his nap. It was a great way to spend the afternoon!

A great holiday weekend!! Back to routine this week - here we go!
