Easter Sunday 2009

As you all know from an earlier post, we were really happy for Easter weekend because Vic's test was over and we could just relax. We decided to go to the early service at Church at 8:15 Sunday morning and then have a brunch. Charley came to Church with us and it was a great service with a great sermon and really wonderful music! It was rainy and cloudy for a good part of the day, but still a good day. Vic made a beautiful brunch of fruit, omelets, cheese biscuits, sausage and fruit smoothies (of course the boys had a little extra ingredient in theirs to really shake things up if you know what I mean...I told them their smoothies were full of sin! Mine was nice and pure! hehe) Anyways, the meal was wonderful, as always! I love Vic's cooking and it was SO nice, again, to have Charley to visit.Then, it was time for Vic and Charley's FAVORITE moment of the day (ok, so maybe it was really my favorite and they just knew better than to argue!). EASTER BASKETS! My aunt GG always makes us the BEST Easter baskets when we are at home at Easter. She gives the best candy and prizes and I have missed being at home for Easter the past few years, because those are the best (in addition to just seeing the family!). Anyways, I have a great Easter Basket teacher. Last year, I have to admit I did a really good job coming up with ideas. But, this year, the Easter Bunny is on a budget because she needs to save her money for a house so she and the Easter Bunny Hubby can have more room for the BABY Easter bunnies! So, the Easter baskets were a little smaller - they had things like body wash and deodorant....and of course candy and a couple of other fun items! They even got a MONEY egg...granted it had just a bunch of random change and a one dollar bill, but at least they got one! Don't they look excited? Okay so I don't really give them stuffed animals, because let's be honest here, do they care about stuffed animals? No. But, I always stick a couple that I have in there (that I think GG has put in my Easter Basket in the past) just because you HAVE to get some kind of cute little animal in your basket! So, for the past 2 years, they are loaned cute little frogs that they must return to be used again the next year! I think they really do like getting baskets though!

Overall, it was a great Easter and I think we all 3 had a wonderful time. Now, remember, Easter will be at mine and Vic's house (if we have a new one) next year, so don't forget to put it on your calendars!
