Happy Easter

This was a rather busy weekend for us. It all started Saturday with an Easter egg hunt:


Then Grace had her performance with her ballet/jazz class at the Celebration of the Military Child event here on Fort Huachuca, in honor of Military Child month.



While there, they got to meet Elmo and the Easter Bunny.














Then we came home, baked a cake, and decorated Easter eggs (after a nap, of course).




















Today began with church, then David and I helped out in Tristan's Sunday School class for the 2nd service. While the kids napped, David worked on supper, and I decorated the cake.

The kids went for an Easter basket cake instead of a bunny cake... Which was fine with me - lots easier to decorate!

Then it was finally time for the kids to see what was in their Easter baskets and find all those eggs the Easter bunny hid around the house and yard.














They are pretty patient kids - they saw the Easter baskets before church, and waited to tear into them until three or four o'clock!





















They did have a couple of gifts from Grandma to hold them over though!
















It turned out to be a pretty good weekend, and we finished it with delicious ribs for supper, followed by cake and ice cream and a movie for all to enjoy (not to mention the delighted looks of surprise and excitement on our children's faces). We hope y'all had a wonderful Easter as well.

Hallelujah, He is risen!
