We made pancakes with choice toppings, syrup, whipped cream, strawberries, raspberries, peanut butter and choc chips. We also had eggs, toast, sausage, jellies and raw milk and coffee. Yum!

All is done and ready for tomorrow - ham, dressing, make ahead mashed potatoes, green salad, corn, "deviled" eggs, rolls, dessert, tea & lemonade. :) We have service in the morning, we'll come and eat, then service tomorrow night with communion and feet washing. ;) I’m fixing lunch for my grandparents and parents, brother & sister.

Nope, no travelling for us, but we will likely visit with grandma and grandpa sometime during the weekend. We have two more days of our Ressurection egg devotional and the kids really enjoyed reading the Bible passages to go with each egg this year. We will go to Sunday morning services at 9:30am after a breakfast of cinnamon rolls, sausages, fruit and maybe some yogurt. We will probably skip lunch and have an early dinner of glazed spiral ham, baked macaroni and cheese, roasted asparagus, angel eggs, rolls, pineapple, homemade bread and butter pickles and cottage cheese. Fresh carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for dessert -- yum! Good thing we eat like this only at Easter. I don't think my cholesterol could handle it otherwise! I hope everyone has a blessed Ressurection Sunday. Easter is our holiday to spend alone — just us and the kids.

So we won't even be going to church tomorrow. We'll have "church at home" which the boys enjoy and we'll hunt plastic eggs and play. Then we might have ham and turkey - from the deli. Or I might have time to make a meatloaf. Depends on how much mommy time the boys need. They need a lot when they're sick. This isn't how I thought it would be, but we'll make the most of it!

Then a brunch with bacon, sausage, pancakes served by a few men in our church. We'll have an Easter egg hunt for the kids after that. My son, and a friend of ours and her daughter's came over yesterday to color the easter eggs we're contributing to the hunt! We asked my 4 yr old today who rose from the dead on Easter, and he was able to say "Jesus!" He is Risen Indeed!

We're not traveling per se, since the beach we're heading to is just about five miles away from our house. I'm planning to put together a not-so-fancy but filling breakfast of freezer waffles with eggs and bacon, we're having a picnic for lunch while dinner cooks nice and slow on the counter top. Dinner will be a small beef brisket with roasted potatoes and a fresh loaf of beer bread. My son is with his father this weekend, but he comes home to me on Sunday evening right around dinner time. We'll surprise him with his first Easter basket then (he's only 2 1/2 years old). I'm so excited!
