Happy Easter!!!
Alleluia, alleluia, He is RISEN!!!
...But for real, where are all the larger-than-life/stuffed animal Jesus-es? We couldn't find any traipsing around town, so we settled for a damn bunny. [Yes, I already know my kid will grow up hating me for this. IF she makes it alive to adulthood after snuggling in that fur costume which was probably rife with disease.]
Back to the serious tone.
One of our favorite Catholic Masses of the liturgical year is the Saturday night Easter Vigil. It is so refreshing and such a blessing to witness new Catholics entering the Church and going forth into the world marked with their new signs of faith. I love it sooo much. The service is usually 2+ hours, so we were a tiny bit hesitant to attend this year with our 3-week old offspring. [Not because I was worried about germs or people in her face, but because I was worried she would cry or fart or erupt in some fashion that would cause a distraction for the people who were praying and focusing on the Mass.] BUT we took her, and she slept in her carseat for allllmost 2 whole hours and didn't make a single grunt or peep until it was time to eat! Phew. One long Mass in the books!
Since we went to Saturday Vigil, we slept in a littttle longer on Easter Sunday morning! Not surprisingly, Momma had to snap a quick photo before leaving the house... [Harper hates photo sessions but really does love her pink Longaberger basket from Great Aunt Stephanie!] :-*
We spent the morning/afternoon at my grandma's and the afternoon/evening at Brian's uncle's! Here's to hoping you had a blessed day with your families as well!!! :)
Grandma Ann and her two youngest granddaughters!
Worn out after a long day of being passed around and snuggled + having sweet [or not-so-sweet?!] dreams of that candy-delivering, diseased bunny!
Happy Easter, all!!!
We are an Easter people, and Alleluia! is our song!
