Happy Easter (a few days late.)  This Easter season, was different for me than in previous years.  During our family devotions each morning for the few weeks leading up to Easter, the girls were really eager to learn about the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.  They asked so many great questions and loved going through their Resurrection Eggs.  I love to see them grow in their knowledge of our Lord and Savior!

The day before Easter, we spent time with Aunt Patti decorating eggs and making candy.

Adding some stickers to our eggs

Making candy with Aunt Patti

We used beets, coffee, tumeric, green tea powder, paprika and blueberries to color our eggs this year. I love how they turned out!

Blueberry dyed eggs were my favorite!

Easter morning Tom was up at 4:30 and out the door to serve over 900 guests with an all day buffet.  That is the most they have ever served on any day in all the records he can find, and it went smoothly.  I know that he was happy his long hours and the hard work of his staff paid off.  He was exhausted but it was a good day for him at the restaurant.

Our day looked quite a bit different than his.  (You can read more on that over here on my blog about being married to a chef.)  We went to church in the morning, relaxed in the afternoon and then Aunt Patti and Uncle Chuck came over for dinner and an Easter Egg hunt.

Why are the silly pictures always my favorite? I love this!

Not sure what’s going on with Molly here . . . maybe too many pictures or too much candy!

Ready, Set, Go!

Another silly one that I LOVE!!
