We had a busy but fruitful Holy Week with Mariana acting in the Passion Play again, attending the Mass of the Lord's Supper and Veneration of the Cross, Tenebrae, squeezing in some school and swim practice, etc. We made our crowns of jewels and got everything ready on Saturday (and Allia even had a very successful bake sale with a friend to raise money for a summer trip). She managed to save some creativity and energy for the dining table, which she and Gloria prepared together...
They did a beautiful job. Mariana was missing from this because she opted to go to the Vigil Mass this year!
The kids hunted eggs at church after morning mass.
Opening Easter baskets at home
We had the blessing of hosting Lito and Lita as well as Fr. Albert for Easter lunch!
We invited our sweet neighbor friends over to help with the Pinata (brought by Lito and Lita!) and Easter Egg hunt.
Lito was quite the Pinata wrangler. He had some sneaky moves for sure!
The Champion egg hiders, Mariana and Abby. They cleverly hid some glittered eggs in the door wreath, and it looked so authentic that I almost didn't notice! It took the kids a really long time to find these!
This pretty little princess slept through most of the festivities and was enamored with the confetti in everyone's hair after the cascarones. So someone generously shared with her. She was so proud!
And Mariana's voice teacher generously added time to lessons so she and Allia could learn Panis Angelicus as a surprise Easter gift to Austin. So they sang the duet for us that evening.
He is Risen. Alleluia!
