Post-Easter Meal Plan

So... Holy Week happened, and all of the violin playing and choir singing that went along with it.  It was all meaningful and celebratory and fun, but I must say I'm exhausted.

And I got really behind on work for my class while doing all of that music-making.  Last year Holy Week was later in the course year, meaning that I had much less grading to do in between all the services.  Not so this year.  I'll be playing catch-up in a major way until this week's grade deadline tomorrow night.

But life is good and we had a sweet and wonderful Easter weekend with family.

Just gonna put up a few pics of our goings-on and then the meal plan.

Saturday we brunched with Auntie Bethie and Uncle Adam, and Grandma H.  The girls enjoyed some wonderful new books from Grandma and played with the Easter window clings that she brought for the rest of the afternoon!

 

Easter baskets were left right by the door Saturday night (C's idea) so the Easter Bunny would not miss them.

 

I was sure that we would not get to see the girls opening their Easter baskets, since M and I had to leave for church at 6 AM, but guess who was awake.............. everybody.

 

We have been obsessed with Lego Friends lately and the Easter Bunny definitely delivered.

Mama and Daddy left for our three services of music-making at church in the city.  The girls stayed home with Leslie and went to one service at her church, and the egg hunt afterwards.  Much fun!  Thank you Leslie!

Mama and Daddy returned home at about 1:30, and then Zach, Piper, Grandma and Grandpa came with more Easter baskets!

I took the easy/lazy pregnant woman route and ordered Boston Market for our Easter dinner.  It was yummy!  We went out for ice cream afterwards to top off the perfect afternoon.
