Easter Weekend Fun

 Easter weekend!
We enjoyed friends, egg-dyeing and egg hunting at Juliana and Daryl's house on Saturday afternoon.

 The girls had a great time, and I enjoyed NOT dyeing eggs at my own home! Thanks, Juliana!

 Later that evening, we attended an Easter service at our church. Our church has grown so big, they offer a number of "pre-Easter" Easter options, and we like the idea of going when it isn't quite so crowded.

This year, they had a camel for the children to check out. That night, Violet in her bedtime prayers said, "Thank you that we could see the camel that Jesus rode on." Apparently she was confused with the prior week's Palm Sunday story with Jesus on the donkey.  Or she was joking. She does like to joke.

On Sunday, the girls enjoyed opening Easter gifts from Nan and Pop, and later from Grandma and Grandpa.

We hosted Easter dinner, and Violet and Cora helped Stacey make strawberry biscuits (like scones). They were delicious with whipped cream.












Melanie also did some cooking with the girls, and we all pitched in for dinner. We had ham, sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes and lemon meringue pie.

Then, Grandma and Uncle Nick hid Easter eggs, and the girls hunted for them. It was a very nice Easter for all of us.
