We had a great Easter weekend despite Brenner being gone. You will hear me say it a thousand times over the next 7 months, but we are blessed with some incredible people around us here!
This is the best photo I could get of my munchkins Easter morning in their finest Easter clothes.
Saturday we went with another chaplain's wife, Holly, to the base Easter egg hunt.
They had an Easter bunny there and the kids were curious why kids wanted to have their picture taken with a giant bunny. We have never taken our kids to see Santa or the Easter bunny because we do not push those things at Easter and Christmas, they are not the focus of those days and frankly, standing in line for ages to get a picture with someone in a costume surrounded by tons of screaming kids and cranky parents never appealed to us. But on this day, my kids said it looked like fun so they asked if they could talk with him first, and then sit with him. Don't think Elise is giving him the evil eye either....she just asked him "do you eat lollipops too?" and was waiting for an answer :) Clara just kept calling him big bunny.
Elise was particularly fond of her Easter basket and did not part with it all day.
Brenner sent us Easter flowers which were beautiful!
Easter baskets that were filled with goodies sent from Daddy: a few eggs with chocolate, goldfish, peeps, a batman surprise and a daddy doll. The kids ate goldfish and chocolate for breakfast while opening them with Daddy on Skype....best breakfast they could have asked for!
For lunch after the Easter church service, we went to another Chaplain's home and had the most enjoyable afternoon. I am sure more pictures were taken of the day, but this is my favorite: Nolan, a 15 year old boy whom my kids adore, sat and played babydoll with Elise. He has the biggest heart and plays with the kids anything that they want. This picture melts my heart!
We had a wonderful weekend with friends, celebrating our Savior's resurrection!!
