easter

 

 

 

Easter Sunday is about family for us.

Sunday morning was spent with our beautiful church family.

Lunch was shared with my parents

(we missed my brother and sister-in-law this year who are on their overseas great adventure).

Dinner was spent with Jim's parents and sister and her family.

An Easter 'bonnet' parade in church.

Two Easter egg hunts for the children.

Several egg hunts for me (hidden by Nate!)

Lots of interest in counting the eggs as they were collected 

- counting is currently a big deal for Nate.

An Easter long weekend filled with quiet moments of reflection, chocolate highs, love, gratitude,

family, friends and even some football.
