Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend started off on a painful note for Stace. He had all four of his wisdom teeth removed Friday, and lived to tell about it.

Here you see him recovering Friday evening, with a helpful Cora. He said he feels like he's been kicked in the jaw.

On Saturday, Ave stopped over and helped Cora paint some Easter eggs.

I was thinking Cora would be the only decorator this year, so I only boiled four eggs. Unfortunately, one egg was dropped on the floor during the transfer from me to Ave. And Cora's second egg rolled off the table when she had only painted a bit of it. So, we got out paper and the girls finished off the paint. Next year, I'll boil a few more eggs!

Stace wasn't feeling too good Saturday as he recovered from his surgery, so it was great that he felt well enough Sunday to come to Easter service, speak to all the family in England, and go to Easter dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house (though Stace's dinner pretty much consisted of mashed potatoes and macaroni).

Here you see Cora after church in her Easter best... excuse the dark photo, but it was pretty cloudy and she would only wear her hat for a few minutes.

Silly Daddy wore the hat for about as long as she did.

Next, we have an Easter hug between Cora and her best friend, as we again had to collect her from the yard. She likes to race out and eat grass (and then get sick in the house, preferably on the carpet rather than the tile).

And then Cora enjoys opening her Easter basket at Grandma's house. Somehow this year, the Bunny forgot to come to our house; thankfully he still got Cora the goods!

Cora also really liked her Benjamin Bear DVDs, from Nan and Pop. She watched them Monday and renamed one of her bears "Benjamin Bear" and played with him the rest of the day.
