Easter

We sure had a joyous time celebrating the resurrection of our dear Lord this year, as we always do. We long to be with You someday in glory. We are so thankful for all of our blessings. We have the best marriage, and two beautiful and healthy children. We have a roof over our heads, and a comfy place to rest our heads. We have good food to eat and a rich supply of sweets. We have loving family and friends. What more could we possibly ask for? This year we celebrated Easter here in Fort Worth. We got up early to go to mass. When we returned the kids got their Easter baskets with treats. Grace received three Sesame Street books, some rabbit ears, a chocolate bunny, a candy egg, a rabbit purse, and a little people car. She absolutely loved everything especially the books. Our daughter loves books. She spent almost the whole rest of the day looking at those books. Jonathan got his first chocolate bunny, Baby Binks. We had to help him eat it this year. He also got two pairs of socks, some eggs that do not open up, and a hammer rattle. I made a homemade ranch chicken pizza for lunch, and daddy hid the eggs in our back yard. Grace really enjoyed finding the eggs. We had to help her toward the end so that we could make it back into the house before it rained. We made it. We also enjoyed the resurrection eggs that Sharon sent us for Grace. And I bet that you are thinking that pizza doesn't sound like a traditional Easter meal right? Well, we love pizza in this house, and we went out to eat for lunch the day before Easter. So it was simple and delicious. Here are a few pictures from Easter at our house. I have placed more pictures on facebook for those who would like to see more. Of course, I made my way to the store the day after Easter for the candy sales. I picked up some sweet treats but I didn't go overboard. I also bought some cookie cutters. And thank you Mom for sending us those cute Easter cards.
