Saturday afternoon we let the kids dye eggs. I boiled 60 and everyone got nearly ten. My nephew came over and we shared two with him, but that's all he really cared to do anyway. It was hot out in that sun. We need to find a cover for this gazebo that sits in the middle of our (rental's) yard.
Then Brian made an apple strudel, which is pretty crazy since it's the first things he's ever baked...EVER. He didn't bake it though because we got all cleaned up and went to the Easter Vigil as a family for the first time since Brian and I came into the church. A late service like that is never fun with little ones, and
we always make Holy Thursday Mass a priority since it is my favorite.

| Hannah was still getting dressed. She missed out on the family picture. |
Brian was so worried that we wouldn't get seats at the Vigil Mass after our Midnight Mass experience, and so we arrived an hour early. I did not think this entirely necessary, but I didn't want to be the one responsible for making us stand for over two hours. So we took some pictures in the van and hung out for a while before going in. The parking lot was completely empty.
Easter morning, the kids got to have their Easter baskets before heading over to my brother's house for Easter lunch, egg hunts and other festivities!

| This is how listening to my husband's yearly Laying Down of the Laws of the Easter Egg Hunt looks. |
 |
| The gold sparkly one has money in it! |
 |
| The little ones met at the tot table to check out their egg stash while the older kids tried to find the most tricky eggs hid by the dads. |
 |
| Of course, there were confetti eggs to smash! |
 |
| And don't forget a walloping game of water balloon baseball to end the fun at Uncle Kent's before moving to my sister's house to swim. |
