Early Eastertide

For Palm Sunday, the kids had an unusual parade at church ... complete with sunglasses and a VW bug made out of papier mache.

On Saturday the 22nd we had our 6th annual Easter Egg Hunt, that was held indoors for the first time. The 5 inches of snow we got on Good Friday was somewhat prohibitive to hiding eggs in the yard. We still managed to have hot dogs on the grill and gave away a lot of sugar along with the prizes. George was thrilled that his friend Paul came over - and Paul was happy with the bug eyes he grabbed from the prize table.

Easter Sunday was a full day with brunch at church and afternoon dinner. We honored the local Polish tradition of kielbasa and pierogi with our menu. The kids had fun hunting for eggs at church too. Just what we needed - more sugar!

We're having a good week for spring break even though we sure wish it was warmer! Riding bikes through the snowbank can be a little challenge. Maybe it will finally be warm by summer when we go to Arizona for Aunt Cara's wedding! :)
