Easter - Part III

Last bit on Easter. Sunday morning the babes were fortunate to wake to some treats from Auntie Heidi. They weren't expecting them at all. I'll admit, I'd decided not to brief them on the Easter Bunny, because we'd been actively enjoying bunnytreats since their arrival on our pharmacy's shelves, uh, since early March (they are my favorite seasonal sweet -- Peeps, Reeses peanut butter eggs, etc. etc.) But when loving Auntie's are around, no holiday ritual is overlooked!

What's this? Breakfast?

I like the metalic taste of chocolate

His and Hers

Here is a pic of Zoe's little Easter dress. She also had a little knit brown shrug sweater , which looked cutecutecute on top. I completely forgot to take photos so I snapped this one when she woke from her nap -- she'd fallen asleep on the way home from church so the look was preserved while the rest of us had already changed. UGH! Sorry mom!

The day was completely special. Church was such a gift: the music, the challenge of speaking, and the opportunity to sit and listen and worship. We went together and left together, which only happens about 2 or 3 times a year as Nathan always leaves before us (for early a.m. meetings) and comes home quite late every Sunday (after more meetings, visits, Youth events, etc.) Heidi spent the entire day with us, we unanimously love every minute spent with that glorious personage! We pulled together probably the most utilitarian holiday meal ever and, coincidentally, it was the most stress-free, enjoyable, hosting-for-the-holiday experience in our nearly 14 years of marriage (!) leaving us with lots of time to relax and chat with the friends we invited over. What a breakthrough! And the food was tasty! Crockpotted my Ham (which was actually a pork roast, novice mistake), mom's easy potato casserole, homemade rolls (made Wed and frozen), Leo brought the salad, Heidi brought the richlyrich fabulous coconut brownie almond (what was that?!) with vanilla icecream, and Lynn brought her Zen. :)
