Easter was a little different this year. We are worshipping at a new church. Brian's parent's couldn't make it to Illinois. Due to these two things, some of our Easter "traditions" did not occur. In all honesty, I was dreading it. However, it ended up being a great weekend. We had an invitation to join our "Mahomet Family" for lunch, but we decided to spend time with just the five of us. I have to say, it was just what the doctor ordered.
On Saturday, we colored Easter eggs.
On Sunday morning, we enjoyed our Easter baskets and then headed to church. The service was great and the message really spoke to me.
You can dress them up . . . but kids wanna play!
Jacob requested that we have our traditional Easter meal - ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, corn, cole slaw, deviled eggs, etc. That is one tradition he did NOT want to miss this year.
This year, we ate our meal at our "new" old table. This table is 134 years old. It belonged to my great great grandmother. She got it when she and my grandfather "went to housekeeping." I love antiques and the stories they tell.
We also ate on the china my mom and dad got for their wedding. My mom gave us both the china and the table recently. It was cool to use both of these things as part of our Easter Celebration.
We ended the night with snacks, chocolate chip cookies and a family game of Qwirkle.
