COVID Week 5--Easter

He is Risen!  He is Risen Indeed!

We did our best to celebrate Holy Week and Easter together at home.  There were so many things we missed, namely going to church and also being with all of the rest of our family.  (And celebrating the March and April family birthdays that we also do over Easter weekend!)  But we kept a few traditions in place.  Jonathan helped the kids decorate eggs and they turned out beautifully! While they did that, I prepped a quiche to have for breakfast the next morning. The Easter bunny, aka Grandma Deni gifted us with a new blender so we've been having lots and lots of smoothies. The kids loving coming up with new recipes!

On Easter morning we dressed up for our church's online service, and then later did an outdoor Easter egg hunt.  We hid the kids' baskets inside too for a little scavenger hunt.  Our neighbors were by themselves for the whole week (the husband is still traveling for work) so we invited them to join us for a social distance picnic outside.  Our menu was ham, cheesy potatoes, asparagus, pineapple, green bean casserole, cupcakes with fondant frosting, and coconut pie.  And lots of Easter candy!
