Easter 2013

A beautiful day to celebrate the Lord with family. Funny story, I am trying my best to teach our kids the real meaning of holidays. Easter bunny and egg hunting is fun but I wanted the kids to know what Easter is about.  So Good Friday, I told William is the day that the Lord died...he freaked out and said, "what, Jesus died?" Oh my, I think I just traumatized my child! So much for trying to be all serious and righteous on holidays.

We attended our morning church service with my sister. Much easier to explain that the Lord is risen!

After mass, we started making our way south to meet family for brunch and more egg hunting. We made it just in time for the Country club's annual egg hunt. They had a small crowd of egg hunters and there were more than enough eggs for everybody.

We enjoyed brunch and it was great spending time with family. My nieces and nephew are growing up way to fast. My kids absolutely adore them.

Easter basket goodies from Grandmommy and Granddaddy are always a favorite of the kids. William got his giant Skylanders and Samantha got a sassy cat Webkins. How appropriate for her! :)
