We had a wonderful day. The kids got up at a completely reasonable hour and we maybe even slept in a bit. The woke each other up and took a quick peak at their baskets....
I'm not gonna lie...that fluffy green grass just makes my heart smile!
Of course, territory was marked before baskets could be handled by human hands...
We got dressed up for our sacrament at home. A couple of the kids were less than thrilled about that, but didn't put up much of a fight. Our family sacrament meeting was light years better that last week, I think it was mostly because of the ukulele hymn accompaniment.
The Easter Program:
Opening song: My Heavenly Father Loves Me
Mom and Anna on ukuleles
Prayer: Ethan
Sacrament song: The Miracle
Megan on piano
Sacrament

Talk: Mom
Closing Song: Gethsemane
Mom and Anna on ukuleles

When we were done, we all headed outside to take a photo for Grandma Kathleen. She requested an updated one for her birthday. And you know what was weird? Wearing dress shoes! It's been forever.
I think it turned out pretty cute! Especially considering that it was done with a timer on Mark's phone that we propped up on the ladder in the front yard. The all look so long! Our kids are sprouting up around us.
The very moment the photo was taken, every one of us ran to change into the house to change into our quarantine uniform....comfy clothes and snuggly socks. We spent the rest of the day munching on our Easter baskets, doing puzzles, watching movies and polishing off the resurrection rolls we made the night before.
What???!! UHmazing.
No idea how I missed that fact that Mathew was taking a birdseye view of our Easter dinner, but he did and so we have documentation of our cold rootbeer bottles and our ham dinner. We did manage to mix up our favorite pistachio yak, even with our limited ability to go out for frivolous groceries.
We were already stuffed and totally sugared up, but we always have room for a slice of Bunny Butt cake.
Oh. And it hailed! I guess we'll have egg hunts in the back yard another day.
Can you see those little hail stones? Tootsie and Daphne made it inside just in the nick of time!
