Celebrate Easter!

We had a great time celebrating Jack's first Easter this weekend!  To start things off, GeeGee came to keep Jack on Friday since "school" was closed and I had to work. That made it a good Friday, indeed!

On Easter Eve, we dyed Easter eggs. Jack carefully observed the entire process . . .

And inspected the results once we were finished. I guess they passed muster even though it's been a LONG time since I dyed Easter eggs and I might be a little rusty.

He was a little skeptical when it came to the Easter bunny . . .

But he warmed up to the idea of the Easter basket.

See that sleepy face, though? He slept through the end of church as well as my attempts to hunt Easter eggs in the den. But at least he showed off his new Easter outfit while he took a quick catnap.

Then we headed out to the backyard for some Easter pictures.  The weather outside was beautiful and sunny. All that sun made for a squinty baby, though.

After all that Easter fun it was time for lunch! Mustard glazed pork tenderloin, broccoli rice and cheese casserole, roasted potatoes and carrots, green salad, and lemon bars for dessert. YUM!

Ready for lunch with roses from our garden to decorate the table!

After lunch we had to play with the fun things GeeGee brought with her from Texas!

Don't mess with Texas!

After all that fun, Jack crashed with a LONG nap while GeeGee headed home.  Later, we went to have coffee and a visit with our friend Andrew and his puppy, Elsie.  They were lots of fun, too.

What a great weekend celebrating our risen Lord with family and friends!
