Easter Weekend Lovelies:
- Introducing Ethan to Thai food on Friday night while Grandma whisked the girls off to Hannah Montana: The Movie (and yes, I did want to see that flick myself)
- Watching my girls imitate Miley's dance moves--quite impressively, I might add--all weekend long
- Running a 5k with my husband on Saturday morning
- Beating my husband in 5k on Saturday morning
- Not letting my husband forget it since Saturday morning
- Coloring eggs with the kids; making treats with the kids; eating too much candy with the kids
- Watching kids perform creative skits about the New Testament on Saturday night; Ethan playing a mean "Martha" who is too busy making "My Tomato Sauce!" (as he called it) to sit down and listen next to Megan's angelic portrayal of "Mary"
- Beautiful music in church on Sunday morning
- First Sunday back in Primary as new 2nd counselor; loving being back in there with my own little lovelies
- Hedonistic Easter feast after church, during which we reversed any benefits gained during 5k run
- My parents coming over to celebrate Easter and their 41st wedding anniversary. Dad giving Mom floor tickets to Billy Joel/Elton John in Seattle. Them acting as giddy as newlyweds. Me loving living by my parents.
- My niece announcing that she was "suspicious" of the Easter Bunny on the car ride over to our house
- She and the rest of the kids sneaking back to our room to google up and learning that the likeliest candidate for the E.B. was, in fact, their parents
- Us adults enjoying ripe strawberries and lemon chiffon cake out front, blissfully unaware that our childrens' innocence was being shattered just two rooms away
But it was still a great weekend.
How was yours?
