Easter 2025

This year Easter was a little busier, but in the best of ways!

Easter baskets were much the same, with toothbrushes, roblox, and candy.



It was a little different, in that Emily, Grace, and Juliet were baptized! (many of these photos were taken behind the scenes and given to me second or third hand!)




It was such a celebration day, full of baptism, tales of old, and music!

At home we had some silly pictures.



And my favorite!


We had our usual color-coded egg hunt!






Afterward, we also had Easter dinner, varied only in that I used a turkey, that I did not use for Thanksgiving, as our primary protein*! Despite the odd dinner, it was a lovely day.

He is risen indeed!

*Back in November, when Billy was in transition between jobs, Sarah, sweetly, offered to cover Thanksgiving dinner at Bob Evans, but I had already tried to spread the cost of our meal into several months, so had purchased a frozen turkey.  After her purchase, the turkey just sat in the basement freezer.  I was excited to use it for a meal!

Easter 2024

Easter this year was damp, but not too rainy.  It was on the cold side without the sun though!


My Easter dress selection this year was on point, as three of the four girls have re-worn them to school and on other occasions!


Hunting for eggs in the backyard!



Emily, Grace, and Juliet helped me sort, count, and fill the eggs the night before so that everyone could have the same number to hunt!


Their filled buckets!


Emily wanted to know how much the cookies were.  They were over a dollar a piece!  But I liked that they came in a pack of five. = )

Grace drinking her milk out of a chocolate egg!


 After the at home hunt Billy took the twins to their final egg hunt! (Their birthday falls before Easter next year, so they'll have aged out!*)

Then we ate lunch when they came back. = )  This is actually the picture I sent to my sister offering leftovers, though she is always invited to join us while it's fresh!

It was a pleasant day to think about what a wonderful gift we've been given by Jesus!

later days

*I realize that no one would actually care if I sent them next year, especially since it's a matter of just a few days, but I think we are happy to be done with that chapter!
