happy easter

The Hunt


The Decor


Consumption of the nests. (the nests were made from bran cereal which I must admit is a great appetizer for a big meal!)



belated easter greetings! we had a wonderful easter weekend. it started with a double date on friday night with some good friends. we had a BLAST!! then an egg hunt and nice dinner with family on saturday and another nice dinner with good friends on sunday. i had the girls (my niece included) make centerpiece flower arrangements and birds nest for each plate (see enclosed pictures). i forgot to get my camera out on sunday - so no pictures of that meal or anyone in their easter clothes. the girls just wore their flower girl dresses and the boys were in matching yellow sweater vests.

we also spent some time as a family on sunday reflecting on our blessings and the humble assurance that comes from knowing Christ lives. this continued to monday night where we had a nice discussion with gracie who is preparing to be baptized in a month. tonight, gracie asked me: "don't you just love your life, mom?" i must say that yes, i do. i have a good husband, wonderful children, home, an education, supportive extended family and amazing friends. i am blessed.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
