Easter Weekend

I returned home Wednesday after a relaxing week in Arizona. It was a wonderful, kid-free time for celebration. Now, it's back to life as usual. What a shock to the system!

Life, in the past two days, has been gearing up for Easter. We have read the story of Christ's Death and Resurrection to center us in the reason for celebration. With Aubree's extra hands, we decorated our Veggie Tales eggs.

This morning, I am taking the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt at a friend's house. When we arrive 1000+ eggs peek out from every surface possible. In less than ten minutes, 40 kids have the place ransacked. We come home with all sorts of little toys, coins, and of course, candy. It's a fun, crazy time, and it takes the pressure off me to hide eggs!

Tonight, we are having dinner with my mother-in-law's family. We didn't get to celebrate Christmas together because of a late December blizzard. Rescheduling is a pain, so we ended up in April before we could get together.

In case I don't get back sooner, Have a Blessed Easter!
