Happy Easter

Wow what a full on couple of days! Good Friday we had brunch with all the family at my Mum & Dads...lots of yummy food, lots of happy kids, and a fantastic egg hunt through the garden! Today we had lunch with Craig's family and yet another egg hunt! Isaac has the hang of this looking in the garden for Easter eggs, he is loving it...he even had the cutest little basket up at Nannas today to put his eggs in as he found them! Its been great to hear the boys talking about the real meaning of Easter as well...often too easily a forgotten thing amongst the commercialism that surrounds many of our religious holidays and celebrations these days. Its been great to spend quality time with family and friends!

Caleb's pet fish 'spider' died on good Friday, he thought it was pretty cool that he died on the same day as Jesus, but then after a bit of thinking, cheekily suggested he might just rise again on Sunday!

Happy Easter everyone! and a big happy anniversary to me!!! (12 years OMG where has the time gone!!!) and also to two other lovely girls that share this same anniversary date...Katie and Rozzie! We went to dinner tonight..only to find out the place that Craig had booked into wasn't even open tonight!!!!!!! Think I might be giving them a little phone call tomorrow! We found somewhere else and had a nice dinner together....no romantic night for us though...DH plans to stay up all night (well practically!)watching the grand prix, then the cricket, then the golf!!! Im so not into watching sport on TV, so it will be the computer then off to bed for me!

I will leave you with some photos from over Easter weekend....

and this last one is for the second part of the blog photo challenge that I set at Scrapbook Station last week....share an Easter tradition. Instead of making Easter nests or baskets the kids leave out their hats! It all started when they were quite young and we went camping up the river over Easter. We completely forgot about making Easter nests, and only remembered as we climbed into our sleeping bags that night...the boys went into a bit of a panic about where Easter bunny would be able to leave the eggs, and in my fastest thinking mummy brain I suggested they leave their hats at the end of their sleeping bags...it was the only thing that was in sight and even slightly suitable! From that Easter on, hats left out the night before Easter it has been LOL
