we were blessed with a beautiful easter day, and i felt especially blessed to be able to spend it with at least part of my family. after an exciting morning at home enjoying what the easter bunny brought for brooke and gavin, mom, heather, danny and stella joined us for church. we all arrived early to make sure we had seats, and gavin was asleep on kevin's lap before the service even started. it was a nice service, and the kids were very well behaved. brooke loves going to church, especially when gram vicki is there with us. brooke tries to sing the words to the hymns in her sweet little voice, and it reminds me that we need to make an effort to attend church on a regular basis. after church we had a nice brunch at nectar in mt. lookout, and then we came back to our house for a relaxing afternoon playing with the kids and watching the masters. the kids got so many easter treats! i think they have more candy than they did at halloween! not good for me coming off of 3 weeks with no sugar! my mom gave me a box of my favorite Papas chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs. there are 40 of them in the box! lord help me. we concluded our easter festivities with a super fun texas-style easter egg hunt at the clarks' house. heather and i walked brooke, gavin and stella down the street to see what this texas-style egg hunt was all about. evidently in texas they break the tops off the eggs, cook the eggs and then fill the shells with confetti and cover them in tissue paper. you literally crack the egg by smashing it on the top of someone's head and all this confetti comes flying out! it's impossible not to laugh. i've never seen anything like it in my life, and it was a ton of fun. we all walked home with confetti in our hair and way more plastic candy-filled eggs than we can handle. what a happy easter!
