Yesterday's egg hunt

Oops! The chocolate candy melted!





"You think I am messy? Look at her!"



Spectators

Happy Easter!

Yay! The joy of Christ's resurrection is here!

Preparing yesterday...

Making the Crown of Jewels




Daddy had some good helpers, which was great since he had to do a lot more of the cooking than usual!






Today
We missed the egg hunt after mass, so we will do our own here after naps. Here are the girls discovering their treats this morning before mass


And after mass

Fun with baby

He loves to chew on fingers, especially Manah's

Tears for Jesus

Austin took the older two girls to Stations of the cross yesterday while I stayed with the little ones napping. At the end, Mariana was crying. He asked her what was wrong (thinking it was her hurt knee), but she grew very quiet. He asked if what happened to Jesus made her sad, and received a timid little "Yes." The Deacon called them "Holy Tears."

She has such a tender heart. I sure love that girl!

Good Friday

By His wounds we are healed.

Veggies?

As I announce that dinner is almost ready...

Gloria: Mommy, I can't eat vegetables.

Mommy: Oh really?

Gloria: Yeah, if I eat vegetables I will choke and die.

Hmm...nice try, Gloria! :-)

Spring!

I love it! The weather has been so beautiful we have been spending lots of time outside...hence the light blogging. I have been taking laundry out to fold just so we can be outside more without me shirking my duties. ;-)

We made a quick trip to the park on Wednesday, which included Stephen's first swing, and he really enjoyed it!
