Easter

 Prior to celebrating Easter we enjoyed some crafts, baking and preparing our hearts and minds for Christ Jesus' resurrection.  Here is Theo trying out the Easter bunny ears.

 We made "birds' nests" out of butterscotch and chow mien. We enjoyed passing these out to family and friends.

 We made an egg shell carton wreath.  The boy really enjoyed painting and gluing.  It looks great on the front door.

 I found this bottle in the backyard. It has the date 1856 on the bottom.

 Jacob helped me bake some homemade pretzels during Holy Week. He also enjoyed a Lenten activity book that I picked up last year at OLV Basilica.  He is starting to grasp the true meanings of both Easter and Christmas.

 Hiding plastic Easter eggs is always a big hit around here. The boys love to compete and see who can find the most.

 We all enjoyed seeng Pano over Easter weekend. He brought back homemade soap from Brazil.  Raphael is putting on his serious face for this picture.

 On Easter Saturday we spent the day with Mom and Dad, Uncle Dean and Gianna. The boys enjoyed playing in Poppy's new truck.

 

Gianna is walking everywhere. She is such a little cutie pie and a joy to be around.

Maria and Seamus.

 Here is a sick Raphael, Pano and Seamus on Easter morning.

 Here are all three boys on Easter morning.

 When we tried to get more pictures this happened.

 Here is an attempt at a family picture.  Pano took more pictures that I'll post when I get them.

Look at those baby blues.

We had an enjoyable Easter weekend. We were blest to see everyone over the long weekend. We ate great food, enjoyed lots of conversation and watched the kids as they interacted together.  Allelulia, Christ is Risen!
