Easter Celebration

Happy Easter! This morning we got to enjoy a lovely breakfast with our church family, be challenged by a great sermon from Pastor, participate in the scrum that passes as an egg hunt, and stuff ourselves silly with friends. Somehow there are no pictures to show of after the service, but imagine a gracious home filled with happy people and a friendly dog.
Speaking of, we have learned that Henri is very nonconfrontational. As soon as Hugo (French bulldog) got close she'd drop to fetal position and let him lick her all over. She wasn't crying or too scared, she just didn't seem to want to challenge his position. Once held above him, or if he was not looking, she was fine with patting him. I was hoping she'd enjoy chasing him since she loves to see dogs on our walks. On the other hand Maggie, a few months H's junior, who in past has been afraid of dogs, showed Hugo who was boss and loved it.
Without further ramblings, the day:

Easter basket; can you guess who got what? ;)

Chocolate chip muffins for church. When the recipe starts with "1 container of sour cream" you know it's a good one...

The hostesses

Gorgeous arrangements by Jess

the Lambs brought 2 lambs!

Toy in a cup

Good friends; Maggie and Henri. They make each other laugh and have this weird ability to telepathically transmit their bad behaviors.


Forsythia!

Excited for the egg hunt

Attempt at family portrait. You wouldn't think it'd be this difficult to get 3 people looking semi decent simultaneously in a photo...


Egg collection. She had 3 special ones with goldfish inside

She was excited to show them off
I'm trusting you had a blessed day. I'm going to put the Boo to bed and stuff myself (again) with leftovers. :)

Such great pictures. :) It was fun to see you all dressed up for church. Henri sure did look cute and proud of those eggs. I loved the picture of her with her little friend too.

Your family pic is super adorable! You all look very nice. :) I love Henri's hoodie with the ears... I'm a sucker for ears on clothes!
