Easter 2010

Yes, it's May and I am just getting around to blogging about our great Easter this year. I have been pleasantly "busy". :) So here it is, our Easter memories in May words:

Easter egg coloring was a complete out for Stink this year, but Benny was all in full hearted... and this year he got the whole Easter Egg coloring table to himself, he loved it, naturally!

The Easter Bunny was so thoughtful this year that the boys got a Derek Jeter action figure and toy American Baseball league caps in the Easter baskets along with the 1/2 ton of candy... we still have... now compiled into a treat bowl. This lingering bowl of candy (especially the chocolate parts) has caused me some serious guilty feelings at the gym.

Now comes my favorite part of Easter... church on Easter Sunday... magnificent as always. It's what it's all about!! Those ties on my boys may have come close though. They get more handsome every year. It's a rule... a tie on Easter Sunday's always, always.

After service we came home, I put a tender chicken dish in the oven for a slow bake and the boys and I went for our Easter Egg Hunt. We did it with the neighbors, house hopping style. It was so much fun to watch, and fun play for the kids. Stink scoped out the eggs at our house before to get some strategy down so of course he stole the majority of the eggs when it came time to hunt at the Carlson home.

We got home, had a wonderful dinner, the three of us... snuggled and prayed thanks for our day. Just another wonderful Sunday.
