Easter 2009

What a fun Easter we had. We had a beautiful storm in the early hours while it was still dark outside. It was a beautiful sound to hear the thunder and rain outside. We need the rain so bad. The storm made our electricity go out so it was so peaceful to sleep without the sound of a humming fan and we awoke to the sound of birds chirping loudly outside the window. I think the birds always have a happier chirp after they have made it through a storm. It was so peaceful that I am afraid we almost slept too late. We dressed quickly for church and the kids had just enough time to peek at their baskets and see what the Easter Bunny brought. It is always such a fun surprise to see all the goodies. We went on to worship and enjoyed the service. When we got home they grabbed their baskets and began the hunt! Everyone was quiet successful! We went on over to the grandparents house for more hunting with the cousins and a delicious meal. After a great meal and fun egg hunt we went back home for a much needed nap. It was such a relaxing and fun day. We ended our beautiful Easter day with a family walk. It was a great Easter. Everyone enjoyed the day....unfortunately so did the dog who ate a bag of m&m's. We were a little nervous since dogs are not supposed to eat chocolate. She did get sick but I am happy to report she recovered and is back to her usual spunky self!
