I can remember going to three different Lutheran churches in my life, and almost every week (or at least it seems like) we sang "This is the Feast". Our current church never really used it that much in the first place, but when we switched books, there went my song. (And while I'm on a tirade, why did they have to change the Apostle's Creed? I have to turn to page 105 every week, and I can be reading it and still say it the old way!) Yesterday, Easter Sunday, we sang "This is the Feast". Add in the kids ringing bells whenever they heard the word "Alleluia" during the service and a blooper during the children's message, and it was a great service.
But before we could go to church, we had to see what the Easter Bunny delivered! The kids collected all their eggs in a wheelbarrow so EB could hide them.
EB left a line of eggs going straight to the goodies:
Post egg hunt...I hope they found them all!
In their Easter finery...actually, I was kind of slack this year. Seth wore his lightest polo, Amelia wore a dress loaned to us from Kaitlyn.
Easter bonnet from the dollar spot at Target!
After brunch at church and another egg hunt, we went home for naps. Nathan had done a bunch of yardwork, so he was skipping his Sunday cycling workout. I suggested a family bike ride (where he pulls the kids in the bike trailer) instead, and it was a beautiful afternoon to explore the neighborhood. I cooked a "traditional" Easter dinner...ham, mashed potatoes, corn, deviled eggs...and to my surprise, the kids ate everything! (Saturday night we grilled steaks...I seriously think that we're going to have to start getting Seth his own steak soon!) I also made my usual carrot cake. I may have to share with neighbors...I'm not used to there being this much cake left the day after!
