Easter 2013

This time last year we were "enjoying" a warm Texas summer (the only season in Texas). This year we were praying for some spring-like weather to celebrate Easter. Jake's mom Diane came up on Good Friday and we went out for a delicious fish fry at a local eatery. It was the best fish we have had in a long time.

Saturday dawned bright and early and I was up making cake, pies, frosting, bread, and prepping everything to host easter dinner the following day. We took the kids to the Lena Evangelical Free Church for their annual easter egg hunt. It was a fun time and the kids both got quite a few eggs and goodies. We went back inside and listened to the easter story broken down for little people. Later that evening Grandma D sent Jake and I out on a date to see a movie. We jumped at a chance to go on a date and took in the latest Tina Faye movie, Admissions. It was cute and serious and funny all in one.

Sunday we were up early setting tables, and getting ready to go to church. We made it to church with 2 minutes to spare. After we got home, the kids watched a movie while I put the finishing touches on dinner, baked ham, potato rolls and all the desserts. Everyone showed up between 12 and 12:30 and we had a big family lunch. The last guest left about 5 PM and we were all cleaned up and relaxing by 5:30. I love organization and the feeling that our life is. We had a great easter egg hunt for the little people and the food was great. The kids looked adorable in their easter finery and it was fun to get all of my kid's cousin's in one place to enjoy each others company. I love living close to our family again.
