A Glorious Easter Weekend

Easter weekend this year was probably the best one yet!  The kids & I sure made the most out of our 3-day weekend! 

Thursday when we got out of school we went to Bahama Mama's. . . the local sno-cone stand that we became regular customers to last summer!  The kids & I quickly became sno-cone addicts last year going at least 2x a week thru Halloween when they closed.  Ever since they closed, we've been counting down the days until they opened back up. . . April 1st!  So of course, opening day there we were!  Then that night we went to dinner at one of our favorite mexican food places, Vida Loca, w/ my co-worker Kara & her kids.  Her son Tico is in Chase's class at school & she has a daughter a little bit older than Rylie.

Friday was a busy day!  We met Robin, Kristin & Brandon at the barn park for lunch & playtime.  We don't see as much of them as we'd like to these days. . . we're all counting down till summer though so we can see each other just about daily!  Then the kids & I did a little shopping, made another trip to Bahama Mama's, then went the the AMAZING Good Friday service at our church!  It was phenomenal!





Saturday I took the kids to their favorite, Mr. Donut, for breakfast, then we went to see "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" - such a cute movie!  Then we went to a local park for another picnic.  The weather was GORGEOUS!!!!  That afternoon we dyed our Easter eggs, told the story of the resurrection using Resurrection Eggs & by also making Resurrection Rolls together.  The kids loved it all!  That night we had movie night together complete w/ homemade pizza.





Sunday started off w/ breakfast at Kosmos, then church.  We met up w/ Robin & the kids for lunch at Spring Creek then came home to wait for Ellis.  Once he got off, it was game on for the kids!  Ellis hid the eggs & they got the much-anticipated Easter baskets full of goodies!  It was a great weekend full of fun!  I can't wait for another one! :)
