Easter 2009


Easter was absolutely beautiful. Ryan was off on Friday so we headed to the park. Saturday my parents came into town early. Gran and Pop took over the girls (MK and my niece, Emma) while Ryan and I traveled with the boys to Clemson for their spring football game. And Sunday we were awake before 6:00am, all except MK, eating lollipops and M&Ms! Our church service was wonderful. The children sang a special song and then the boys were involved in a skit...and I must admit they are very comfortable on the stage! Emma slept through most of the service, even with the band playing not too far away. And MK made her entrance at the end of the service when all was quiet....she was so excited as she giggled and yelled "Hi Mommy, Hiii!"....living up to her "noisy-Kate" name! Easter afternoon was spent with family and friends. How much better can it get?! We had a wonderful concoction of foods, including some marvelously made cakes and then the children were off on their Easter egg hunt. And the men, I might add, were totally entertained as they fixed their eyes upon the final rounds of the Masters golf tournament. Once again, I found myself thinking back to last year.....last Easter we were in China. The Easter buffet at the hotel included the delicacy Frog Legs.....yumm. And last year we worshipped with people who didn't even speak our language yet we all understood one another on that special day. Amazing!

Happy belated Easter! Loved your recent posts and my hubby would envy your Masters experience, we too watched it most of the afternoon Sunday. Mason-Kate looks so happy and healthy, I can't believe how much she has grown in the past year. Our Mary Kate is doing well, she has finally learned to fold her hands for prayers so that was our Easter blessing this year.
Love, Marni
