We went to church on Saturday this year! Why? Well, last year, the whole world shut down due to Covid fears, and so this year, we anticipated a huge turnout at church. Pastor Jamie asked us regulars to come Saturday to keep plenty of seats available for the Sunday crowd. WOW, the service did not disappoint! It was lively, upbeat, and FILLED with hope! So wonderful.
Such a lovely family!
More pics with Bumby!
And look how beautiful my mom looks!
Sunday morning, after I hid the Easter eggs (I had to take pics of them so I wouldn’t forget where I hid them…Cooper had to help me).
My honey, Tot, and I went on a little walk down to our “ocean.” Ducks were alive today of course celebrating the Resurrection, but unfortunately with the wrong end rising up. Mooning us like crazy!
But they were full of joy, and that made us laugh!
Mama showed, and she brought a surprise (or two!) for Tot. Look at this shirt!
This was my shirt when I was her age.
Mama, you are full of surprises (and Lego toys!)
I made a full spread of honey baked ham, hot cross buns, fruit, and deviled eggs. All tweaked a bit so they were healthy and tasty.
Oh, and did I mention, Tot found all of the …….
EGGS! (thank goodness she found them. I had forgotten, but Cooper didn’t forget).

We enjoyed our breakfast and talking about HOPE!
Resurrection Eggs were next. I do this every year with the family. She did it in school this year, and I loved that there was a verse for each egg.
We do this story every year from Benjamin’s Box book. I love doing this because it keeps the story of the Resurrection front and center, especially with the final egg (the white one) being empty!
I then read the THREE TREES (my favorite book) about the fate of plain old tree wood becoming useful for a KING.
The day was so relaxing. We went to the pool later since it was about 99 degrees today! We finished the day out with a good dinner, but FIRST, a little Exploding Kittens. I exploded early, so it was a duel to the death for Daddy and Tot.
Tot has a plan…..
Sadly, it didn’t work AGAIN. Daddy is just way to sly. He won. A.G.A.I.N. aye!
The guilt must have been strong because he showed up to our dinner with some sweet cards.
Honey! You are so full of surprises!! I love this, and I’m pokey for you too, HHH.
Tot.. You are so loved!!!
Thank you, Daddy!!!!
What a wonderful Resurrection day; May we be reminded daily of His ultimate sacrifice.
I love you, Family. I love you, Jesus.
