Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful and relaxing Easter Sunday this year.  After last year (we had a 1 month old and not only was I up all night feeding him but up all night with food poisoning) it was great to go to church well rested and celebrate Jesus.

The church service and the worship was great.  Our pastor reminded us that we will never be good enough for God.  But, we have Jesus and don't need to be good enough.  He loves us just as we are! Always a great message to hear.

Then we went home and my parents came for the day.  Matt grilled ham steak (marinated with brown sugar, maple syrup, and spicy brown mustard) and we had baked beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a spinach salad.  My mom made the potatoes and salad and I bought a cake from the church bake sale for dessert.  So it was super easy on my part to prepare!

The rest of the afternoon consisted of the kids sleeping, making homemade granola (in the microwave!), dying Easter eggs, and playing in the yard.  We capped the day off with homemade pizza for dinner.

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the kids together in their Easter best but here's 2 pics from the day.

Running around, happy as can be.
