Easter Fun at Church

We love Easter at church - not only are the services awesome but there is a lot of great chances to sit and chat with everyone at the potluck breakfast.  Drew likes the egg hunt and all the additional candy he gets.

Thankfully I felt better after being in bed Friday and Saturday and was able to participate in the fun. 

They let the Pre-K kids start with the egg hunt around 9:15am.  Normally the eggs are well hidden in the Sunday School classrooms, but our church is expanding and all the classes are scattered.  So this year the eggs were just hanging out in front.




After each child found 12 eggs, they were told to stand to the side so the adults could see how many were left.  Once it was clear there were a ton still remaining it became a free for all.

When we finished the egg-hunt, Drew wanted to show Daddy where he wrote on the wall of his new Sunday School Classroom, which should be sealed up within the next week or two. (Yes he was told he couldn't write on the walls at home!)


Following the service we got a picture in front of the Flower Cross we make each year.  The congregation is asked to bring flowers from home (or the store like we do) and decorate the cross.


After church we went to Mom and Dad's new house for dinner.  It was a quiet group this year of us, Mom and Dad, Aunt Connie and Uncle Doug and Grandma.

Aunt Connie brought dessert including this adorable bunny cake!  She told us her recipe dates back to 1968! (I hope I remembered the accurate date).

We enjoyed the weather in Mom and Dad's new backyard!  Can you believe when they bought this house in October this backyard was all weeds as tall as Mom (which isn't very tall - depending on who you ask LOL).  But they added every item in this backyard which was mostly completed only within the past couple weeks.
