Easter

What a beautiful day Easter was!  Spring has definitely arrived, although we will certainly have a few more snow storms.  It was mostly sunny and definitely relaxing.

We feel so blessed to call the Cathedral our church-home.  Every single Easter when we arrive in the morning (extra early on Easter as the 7:30 Mass is moved to 7:00 and we must arrive early to get "our" pew) I feel a special closeness with the women who went to the tomb to annoint Jesus' body only to discover that He had risen.  The church is quiet and still, yet, in our heart we know that He has risen. Alleluia!

An extra special treat this year was the cantor that sang at Mass.  The girls and I heard him sing with the choir earlier this year and loved his voice.  When he approached the ambo Easter morning, it was a pure gift. His voice made me feel like singing louder than ever!  Since I typically lipsync, it didn't take much ~:o)  

Anyway ~ following Mass the Easter bunnies had arrived and hid all the baskets and eggs at Grandma & Grandpa's.  All the cousins joined in the typical crazy Easter egg hunt followed by breakfast ~ yum, yum, yum!





Dom looks a little naughty!



It was so breezy, Max didn't last long.





"And then, blah, blah, blah,
blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah.
And she was, like, so, I dunno. It was crazy, but fun still........"

I don't think these two looked for too many eggs~



Nickles' basket was empty by nap time. 



Sweet Kelton's basket is almost as big as him ~
