Our Easter celebration started off a little early this year with Janessa's first real life encounter with the Easter bunny. It paid a visit to her preschool class and she seemed to take a liking to it, along with the three eggs she found during their hunt.
Her friend Linky may just be her main motivation for getting to school each week. These two get along so well and she looks forward to seeing him on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She even was able to stay with him while I was at the dentist this week and they had so much fun, she was sad to have to come home. Fancy that!
Easter sunrise service dawned quite early since we had been out the night before at a dinner party at a friend's. The kids had a blast (as did we) and they were worn out by the time they finally hit the pillows after eleven o'clock! Their early morning faces weren't as chipper as usual with the lack of sleep, but mass was outside and perfect and we happened to run into Uncle, Grandma and Grandpa there as well. It was nice to celebrate mass together. After we met up with some more family and were off to IHOP for an early breakfast, followed by naps for all.
We didn't have Easter here this year since Papa hasn't been doing too great with getting around. I guess it was nice to not have to do everything with the lack of sleep we had, but I did miss having it here. Grandma outdid herself (*as always) and we met up with my brothers there later in the afternoon for dinner.
I can not believe It is April. I love that the bigger kids really understand what Easter is all about. . .and I love spending time with my family. Blessed abundantly . . .
