Easter

Easter was a low key affair for us this year.  Things were still a little out of sorts.  We haven't settled into a church yet, but for Easter we went back to a church that we had already visited with.  The service was nice, but it made me miss our church and our pastor back home.  There were other incidentals that weren't quite with tradition this year.  Brenna always dyes Easter eggs with Mawmaw.  Because of the move, we didn't catch them for a Spring visit this year.  Also, we usually put up a Easter tree, but again since I had just managed to get everything tucked away where it was suppose to be, we didn't get that out either.  Since our old neighborhood had an egg hunt every year, Brenna was disappointed that our new area doesn't do those kinds of activities.  I know this is all just a part of the change and next year will be different.

On Good Friday we started the day by dying Easter eggs.  Since Brenna usually does it with Mawmaw, this was my first time in several years to do it with her.  We did have lots of egg hunts, but mostly inside because it was just too cold to get out.

Sunday morning Brenna woke up to a basket full of My Little Pony stuff!  We spent the morning hunting the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid inside!  It was even too cold for him to hide eggs outside!  I did my best to get our crew in some spring colors and still stay warm.  No Easter frocks with year.  It was sweaters and overcoats!

Pickles did his best to make our first Easter in Canada memorable.  When we got back from church we discovered he had used Brenna's Easter basket at a litter box!  I guess all that straw grass was too much to pass up!

We're thankful for our Risen Savior and this Easter we're especially thankful for the new opportunities that he has provided us with!
