Easter Weekend

Easter 2011

Just returned home from my annual favorite service of the year the Easter Resurrection Service. As always a great energy and air of celebration, a crowd of people who really are so thankful that Christ popped up out of that tomb 2000 years ago.

Enjoyed an awesome weekend of good food, and great friends!

I spent Friday night after church finishing filling 1500 plastic eggs with candy for our 3rd Annual Eggstraordinary Egg Hunt. For the past 2 years my mom has been here to help with that thrilling task but this year I was all on my own. The hunt was early Saturday morning and we had a great turnout considering that most of Maadi is gone either for the holiday or still not back from the evacuation yet. The kids didn't mind as it meant more eggs for all of them!
Later that afternoon off to the Turlan's roof for a pre Easter BBQ where Ben and Sarah won the "Freakin Huge Steak" award. It was a bit of a tight fit on the roof but none the less the kids didn't mind watching their head as the swam carefully next to a giant satellite dish.
