Easter Sunday

We did wake up to snow on Easter Sunday but the day was mostly sunny and the snow was starting to melt a little. Although, it was still bitterly cold!

We woke up early to cook the Breakfast casserole that I made the night before. We gave up meat for Lent so I really wanted to break that fast! MK slept a little longer than the rest of us, surprise, surprise, but rushed down to see what the Easter bunny brought. Our Easter Bunny brought lots of chocolate for MK and Matt. And the "Enchanted" DVD to MK. We found out later at Church that the Easter Bunny brought "Enchanted" to a lot of little girls in Hohenfels. ("Enchanted" came out on the previous Tuesday).

MK wore a beautiful new Easter dirndl to Mass. MK loves the traditional German dirndls. She is obsessed with Little House on the Prairie and the dirndls remind her of what Laura and Mary wear in the shows. After Mass, all the children ran outside to play under the tall pine tree. All the little girls looked lovely in their pretty, new Easter dresses. So much so, that the little boys probably thought they needed to chase them and throw snowballs at them. That's what MK told us in the car on the way home: "All the girls had on new dresses and the boys kept chasing us and throwing snowballs at us! They were ruining our clothes!" Rightous Indignation! And as always, boys still continue to chase girls, and girls still continue to run and squeal!"

We came home to a quiet Easter Sunday. Matt and MK began dyeing the Easter eggs about 2pm. And we had dinner about 3pm. Our Easter dinner consisted of a beef brisquit, sour cream and chives mashed potatos, green bean casserole, and salad. As I said earlier, we gave up meat for Lent so the brisquit was too good for words. I think our brisquit leftovers were even better than the original!

The Easter egg hunt began about 4pm when MK went and got her neighbor friend. Matt hid the eggs the first time but the girls had so much fun that they stayed outside for about an hour hiding and finding eggs over and over again.

It was a quiet Easter Sunday. But a very peaceful day that this family really needed! Happy Easter to all of your friends, family, loved ones!
