Happy Easter!

I love Easter! Easter for me is tied with Christmas for being my favorite holiday. It has so much meaning and is truly special to us for we are reminded that we are saved by His grace! Seriously, does it get any better than that?!!! It's because of the love that Christ had (and has) for us that we are free and are able to spend eternity with Him and the only thing we need to do is accept. That is what I call Amazing Love!

Started our weekend celebration with enjoying some Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday. I have never had these before and they were on sale at the grocery store so I thought we would give them a try. They made for a great conversation starter with the boys about the Cross and what happened on Good Friday. As for the taste they were just okay, the frosting on the top was the best part.

Then yesterday by heading to Culver's. I received an email stating that there was going to be an egg hunt with candy and FREE scoop tokens in the eggs. I am not one to promote and push egg hunts for my boys because I don't ever want to replace the true meaning of Easter but FREE scoop tokens; we packed up the boys! When we got there it was not what Culver's advertised for there were no eggs and no free scoop tokens it was just candy sprinkled around on the restaurant floor. I think the boys still enjoyed it but I think we will pass next year.

We then invited Grandma Annie, MieMie and Papa over to join us for dinner. We had Pineapple Mint infused water, Maple Brown Sugar Ham, Sweet Potatoes cooked in Coconut Oil, Bake Potatoes drizzled with Olive Oil, Bacon wrapped Asparagus, Rolls and Carrot Cake for dessert; Grandma Annie also brought custard from Culver's! Everything was super yummy! After dinner we had fun relaxing, hanging out and playing Candy Land; MieMie and Papa even read a couple of bedtime stories before they left.

This morning before church we had to collect our special eggs that the Grove St Bunny leaves for us every year! Daddy had to work today so once we got home the boys and I all took a little nap and spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out and running races in our basement.
