Our holiday weekend started on Thursday when Grandma got here. We spent Friday cleaning. Just because the house needed it and Grandma was a great help! My mother-in-law and brother-in-law stopped by in the afternoon and we had a great visit with them.
On Friday night we attended our church's presentation of The Risen Christ and it was phenomenal, as always. It was a musical/drama of the crucifixion of Christ and his resurrection three days later. It was very intense but offered great hope to those who believe. Christ died for our sins, it was a horrific death because the One and Only Son of God took the punishment for every single one of our past, present and future sins. I, for one, am so undeserving. But, so very thankful for the love God has for me.
Saturday the whole family went to Boop's 9AM baseball game. He has improved so much and seems to really enjoy it. After the game, Grandma and Sissy took Nature Girl (and Little Mama) out to celebrate NG's birthday. The ate lunch at Cracker Barrel, had cupcakes at some fancy bakery and then did a little shopping. Home in time for a little rest and daddy's famous hamburgers on the grill. A couple of weeks ago we started watching the original Star Wars trilogy so we started to watch the fifth (or second) movie, The Empire Strikes Back.
Sunday we all were at church by 9:30 for the Lord's Supper and then a little church wide brunch. After which, was a really great sermon by Pastor Don on the need for the cross and Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.
Lunch after church. The rest of the movie. An Easter egg hunt and another fabulous dinner prepared by daddy. Ham, asparagus, hashbrown casserole, Sister Shubert rolls, fresh fruit and collards from the garden.
Grandma leaves today. And tomorrow it is back to reality. But, what a great way to celebrate the holiday weekend . . .

I am so selfish. I looked at this beautiful Easter picture and all I could think of was - your kids are all growing up so fast and I'm missing out!!! Course, that's not the case at all, since I can "observe" via your blog, including all these great pictures! But just a little confession from far, far away Auntie Di! They look SO CUTE in this picture!!!
What a great picture of your kiddos.
Auntie D - We are so sad we will not be able to see you when you are at moms!!! But, so glad you keep up with us on my blog.
Hope all is well. And that everything goes great this weekend!
