Just want to share a few of our Easter pictures. We started out by dying eggs on Friday evening. It was so much fun, I think Clay and I had were just as excited by it as Gabby. Saturday we went to a new park and brought a picnic lunch with us. It was a bit of a cloudy day but wonderful to be out all together and having fun. Clay started his week of night shifts on Saturday and was due home 6am Sunday.... which meant he would go to sleep then. Surprise, 11:30pm he calls me and says they let him off for some reason (the command here is SO different and generous with time off compared to the last) and he was on his way home. 7:15am Gabby Jean wanders into our room "Is the Easter Bunny here?" She is at such a fun age where we get to celebrate and enjoy holidays. She found eggs around the house that were filled with candy- that was enough, she was content to stop right then and eat her candy. She got one piece of candy then it was on to finding her Easter basket, and BIG book that the Easter bunny left for her. We had a quick breakfast, got dressed and headed to a new church. Driving around to find it we talked about Easter, and how the Easter Bunny brings us stuff to help us CELEBRATE Jesus' life. She then got back on the Christmas talk about Mary, The Mother Mild. That girl and her memory continue to amaze me constantly!
It was a HUGE church, very modern and new age. They had a big band and did lots of singing. Gabby went to the kids room (very strange to leave her there without knowing anyone, and not used to leaving her at all!). She did a little egg hunt with the kids at church, after the service we got her and she told us stories the whole way home: " I was good, but I cried a little bit because you weren't there." Her big story was about her telling a little boy "I said NO you can't have my drum. He wanted to play the big drum but I did not want to share with him. I shared with the little girl." Home for lunch, a much needed family nap and then a good ham dinner, with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter, we sure did!
