Easter 2011 Recap

Our Holy Week festivities really began on Palm Sunday.

But, they continued with Ballerina's school party and egg hunt on Holy Thursday.She did not care a whole lot about the egg hunt...Most of the kids in her class did not stop for 2 seconds, but she ASKED for me to take her picture. Oh, Ballerina...you are too much for me!

Good Friday the boys all had school (make up bad weather day), so Daddy, Ballerina and I ran oodles of errands that should have been run a long time ago - like getting the oil changed in the car - and doing things that we do not get too do all that much because we are teachers ourselves - like eat lunch with a pretty cool kindergartner.

Then Saturday we were back in celebration...remembering again the greatest sacrifice ever given for us...Okay, we DID talk about the great sacrifice He made for us on the cross, but we also hung with some of our favorite friends and family...Oh, and played in the boat, on the jetskiis, in the pool, on the slot machines, the "piano on crack"...you know, all of the normal fun things at Gigi and K-Dan's house...

Lest, there was also a serious egg hunt.Well, the boys took it pretty serious.The girls were more interested with putting their Easter baskets on their heads....and being sure there were no bugs in their baskets...CRAZY GIRLS!

Oh, and there was also egg dying...The egg dying, however, was pretty darn funny...Actually, it was the funniest thing I have seen in a while! I did not get pictures, but Avery taking a bite of the newly died yellow egg and then trying to wash it down with the blue dye was darn hilarious. After a fun day of Easter celebration, we were off to a family wedding! I, however, am an idiot and somehow my camera was set funny...and every picture I took there is a big white blur. :( Boo! I am pretty ticked at myself. I seem to be having camera malfunctions like that a lot lately.
And then Easter Sunday...I just cannot help but to make them pose at church! It is not ever surprising that they were not real interested in taking a picture and that Ballerina was acting like a nut!

Than it was home to find what the bunny had left...It was truly an incredible weekend...one that truly reminded us of the great sacrifice He made...It is not often we are able to rejoice as we did these days. God IS good!

With that, our Easter weekend recap comes to an end...and The BIG TAKS week 2011 begins...
