Easter Afternoon of Fun

The Important Part of Easter

The Bumblebee Family head to church.  The traffic in and out of Mass was so aweful.  We got out of the car a block away and then walked to church.  Dad got there in time for Mass but we had saved the spots.   

At Mass someone told me that they saw using walking over, man these colors really do stand out.  My dream is to someday live that cclose to our parish church. 

 

 

 

Mass was so crowded that we ended up in the old chapel facing into the main santuary.  This was not the best set up but at least we all got to sit together. 

 The twins enjoyed all that space and made a little too much noise.  Considering we were not in church we had no reason to take them out.

I love all the white on the alter but more importantly I love that the tabernacle is where it should be, in the main sactuary!  

Happy Easter!

We have Risen to Easter Morning

Egg Time

I love watching the kiddos during this time.  That find it so important to share it with everyone.  This year Bear and Pickle were asked to serve the Holy Saturday night vigil Mass.  Pooker had to work so we didn't all go we decided to wait and go the next morning.  The kids waited until around 11 pm to die the eggs so that the boys and Pooker (at work) could be all be a part of it.  As always the eggs turned out beautifully just like the kiddos.

Bumble Bee Shopping

It takes so much time, money and work to match the kiddos for Easter.  It has become a tradition that I thought would have died by the time the kids became teens.  We only make an effort to get everyone a new outfit for Christmas and for Easter so I guess the tradition will continue.  This year we somehow settled on the yellow/black/white combo, AKA the bumble bee look.   I always start out this tradition with dread.  It takes days and lots of money.  UGH, but then the fun begins and my apprehension falls away.  I am so blessed to get to spend the time with my great kiddos.  I had a blast and feel so honored to be a part of such a great group of people.  I am anxious to see how this tradition changes as we grow into adulthood.
