I'm determined to catch up on the blog posts that I've had floating around in my head for the past few weeks!
My Easter pictures are limited and really random...Duncan had just turned 3 weeks old at that point and the whole weekend is kind of a blur! Thursday we went to the zoo with friends...Friday we cooked out & hunted eggs with friends...Saturday we had our church egg hunt at the beautiful Saluda River Club outdoor center...and Sunday we celebrated the resurrection of our Savior with a beautiful church service followed by visiting family at the farm.
Easter baskets were sort of an afterthought for us this year. The week before Easter I took M&R to get Easter shoes and Mason begged to try on these:
Me: "We aren't here for tennis shoes, we are only getting Easter shoes."
Mason (on the way out of the store): "That's okay, Mama. You don't have to buy those orange shoes for me. The Easter Bunny knows I want them and he'll bring them to me."
Yeah. There could be worse things that a little boy wants from the Easter Bunny, right? At least shoes will be worn and they are definitely better for him than a bunch of candy! So, the Easter Bunny obliged Mason's #1 request and also brought some for Roper.
(For some reason my iPhone photos turn out blurry when the flash is on)
Please note the shoes and ignore the fact that my child brought a huge stick in the house.
We made these "resurrection rolls" on Easter morning. They turned out just right and were really tasty!
All of the ingredients have a meaning...the dough represents the cloth that Christ was wrapped in; the marshmallow represents Jesus, all white and pure because he was without sin, etc. Hopefully we can make this a tradition!
Here are Mason and Roper right before leaving for church:
While we were at the farm Duncan got to meet Gigi. Here is Gi with her eighth great-granchild!
