Easter Weekend

This Year's Bunny Picture:(this is what took so long-we were trying to wait patiently for it to arrive in the mail.)

Last Year's Bunny Picture:

We had a wonderfully relaxing three-day weekend around the house being productive, lazy, and enjoying a ton of family time.  On Friday, we started the weekend with Caleb's 18 month appointment. Then we took about 80 Easter baskets for boys and girls who live at a homeless shelter in downtown Dallas.  We have some great friends at church that organized over 500 Easter baskets to be donated, stuffed, and delivered.  What a joy it was to serve with our little guy on this special occasion.  (Sorry we didn't take any pictures.)

Friday afternoon we dyed Easter eggs.  I think Daddy had the most fun and he is very creative with his egg dying skills.  Caleb even enjoyed it and made the most beautiful green egg.  We did a lot of yard work and Craig continued to work on the playscape (pictures to follow once it is complete) plus we took a few trips to the hardware store, which is Caleb's new favorite play ground.  On Saturday evening we went to our church's Easter service.  It was a great experience to go on Saturday evening along with 3,000 of our closest friends.  There were over 200 kids in the nursery ages 4 and under.  It was packed to the rim.  

 

Pure delight as Caleb is looking at his filled Easter basket!

On Sunday we were able to have a lazy morning making Resurrection Rolls, an Easter egg hunt, and seeing the treats in Caleb's Easter basket.  Since, this was Caleb's third Easter Egg Hunt in 3 weeks, he is starting to learn to go for the plastic eggs, open them, pour them out and eat whatever he liked (the teddy grams were his choice).

Caleb threw the hard boiled egg with basketball plastic sleeve on it.  He realized that he could then peel the shell off! Great Fun at our Easter Egg Hunt!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter celebrating our risen King!!!
