First of all, I can't believe it's already been a month and a half since we moved up here! We are really settling in well and enjoying our new home. All the boxes are unpacked and we only lack decorations in a few rooms until we are completely moved in!! House pictures will come soon, I promise!!
Easter weekend was so relaxing and wonderful!
On Saturday morning we dyed eggs
and made an Easter cake (a new tradition we decided to start).
Little Bear LOVED both activities!
Then we took advantage of the GORGEOUS 70 degree day and played out front in our sweet little neighborhood.
We also decided to start another tradition in our family for Easter Vigil night (Saturday before Easter Sunday) and we got out our "Resurrection Eggs" and an Easter story to talk about the meaning of Easter BEFORE it got lost in all the egg hunting and Easter basket excitement on Sunday morning. LB was in awe of the Resurrection Eggs and talking about the Easter story. In case the Resurrection Eggs are new to you, in each egg is a symbol that represents some part of Christ's death, resurrection, and the events that led up to it (i.e. donkey, wine goblet, crown of thorns, burial cloth, stone, etc.). He wanted to "talk about Easter with the Res-ection Eggs" for DAYS. So neat!!
On Sunday we went to Mass and had Easter baskets and egg hunts. Little Bear had been waiting for DAYS, maybe even WEEKS, to hunt and play with Easter eggs so he was ecstatic!
The chocolates weren't so bad either. (In case you're wondering, the second basket is not for LB...it was a "family" basket that Mama Bear and Daddy Bear got to enjoy treats from).
That evening we built a fire in our backyard (with wood from...our backyard!!!) and counted our blessings while we watched the sunset on this beautiful Easter night.
