Happy (Belated) Easter!

I just realized I never blogged about Easter last weekend! It all started an hour too early. I heard Evan start singing, which is usually my alarm clock now. I was shocked to read the clock saying 8:45! He never sleeps that late! We got our morning started, all 3 of us getting showered/bathed/breakfast. We were scrambling to get out the door by 10 to leave us plenty of time to get seats on the most crowded Sunday of the year! I was about to grab Evan to put him in his carrier, looked up to see the clock on the wall saying 9:00am. What?! Surely I hadn't gotten up just 15 minutes ago... Oh right! Our bedroom clock is hard coded to the old daylight savings dates and automatically does the reset. Must be that day! Well we had a leisurely hour before church! Aaaand Evan hadn't slept in after all.

It was another gorgeous day. We had a great service at church. The worship team leader wrote a drama for the service which took the place of the sermon and it really blew everyone away. It was a series of monologues by different people who knew Jesus, like Mary Magdalene, Judas, Peter... including an amazing solo of Amazing Grace acapella. Gave me goosebumps!

We went home and enjoyed a restful afternoon, opening our package from Gram! Ok, ok we actually opened it the day before! We got some candy, an Ireland DVD, & The Blind Side. Evan got his own little baseball basket with a ducky, bunny and 2 cute summer outfits.



We were so grateful and honored to be invited to the Groh's house for Easter dinner... the day before nonetheless! They are such incredible people, opening up their home on a special holiday to family, friends and anyone else! We had fun mingling with everyone, and Evan had fun with the LeVake boys again! Dinner was delicious, and it was great to continue the fellowship.

We wrapped up around 7... when all the kids started to crash, and headed to Sam & Christie's for a movie while Evan crashed in their pack & play.

What a day! So wonderful!
