Easter Recap

This Easter we had a great time with the friends and fam. As you can see from some of the pics that Jen put up...there was a lot going on. It all started on Saturday when we went to the Redeemer Lutheran Church eater egg hunt. They had a couple of jugglers in for entertainment, then the Easter bunny showed up for a quick visit. Then it was outside for the eggs! Unfortunately, it was about 30 degrees and snowing...so the Easter egg hunt itself was a pretty quick affair.

Then Sunday morning we got up early and went back to Redeemer for the 8am service. It was a good sermon but the kiddos were a little squirmy so it was a rough hour-plus. When we got out it was snowing hard again and our car was covered in snow...Easter...really? Then we headed home and conducted the traditional Cavitation easter egg trail (legacy from when I was a kiddo myself) . Kade's trail was made of jelly beans and Payton's was made of cheerios this year. Kade really got it this year and followed the trail around the room finding presents along the path...Payton just ate her trail ;-) Then the Zup's came over and we had a quick easter egg hunt in the living room since it was still snowing outside. Then it was off to the Marriott for Easter brunch. We met two other families there so there was pretty much total chaos (8 kids). It was great fun and the food was pretty good too. The rest of Easter was spent hanging around the house...not doing much of anything that I can recall. All in all a great Easter.

I was at Redeemer for Narnia. I learned that when, suddenly, in mid-sentence if someone belts out a "God is great!" you have to respond immediately with "All the time!" It's like a secret handshake.

Sounds like everyone had a great Easter. Glad to see you are keeping up (and embellishing) your childhood tradition! Love the picture of the family (and the Zups).

I am unaware of the secret handshake at Redeemer...but that may tell you a little about how much we have been there since the chillins were born.

Just as well. You'll have to go back to being Catholic in your new homeland.

I was kind of hoping that we could just hang out at the beach and worship the sun god
