Easter Monday

We were in charge of the Easter Coffee Fellowship at our church for Easter Sunday. On Saturday we made a trip to Spokane to buy some of the goodies we would be serving. We had a very successful shopping trip at 6 stops.

Our first stop was at Kiev Market in Spokane and they were selling Kulich/Paska (Russian Easter Bread).

I knew it wouldn’t be as good as homemade but it was better this year than in previous years. After we dropped all the muffins, strawberries, yogurt and tulips off at church we had a quiet evening at home before our busy Easter Sunday.

I brought some of our outdoor daffodils inside to cheer up our kitchen space.

I’ve been working on this puzzle and only have the hardest part left.

Josh and Laura served at an Easter Service Saturday night helping with the photo area. They attended services on Sunday with Laura’s brother’s family.

Dan had to work on Easter but Jamie and her mom got this photo at the Easter service at our church. We were busy in the kitchen getting ready for the Coffee Fellowship in between both services. I did not think to get a photo of the presentation of the food tables. We got our photo with our Grands at our Easter lunch at Dan and Jamie’s.

Many Easter eggs were hidden and the kids were anxious to find them.

Ready, set, go!

Everyone had full baskets/bags of eggs and other vessels.

Three cute bunnies.

Dan got home after all the festivities and it was time for a family photo.

It was a wonderful day all around and a good weekend. I was on my feet for too many hours and will be giving them a rest for the next couple of days.

Hope your Easter was glorious, too.

Easter Day, Here and There…

Easter 2023 our western crew wasn’t able to be with our eastern crew. We will be all together next this coming weekend, Lord willing. Glad photos were taken of these two in their Easter finery that they wore to church.

We had a sermon centered on Jesus and 3 characteristics of a Risen Savior; He is calling your name, He can calm your fears, He can conquer your doubt. The Bible is a living book about a living Savior. It was good to be in the house of the Lord.

This crew a few hundred miles away had their finery on, too.

After church there was some Easter basket fun with baskets that are not of the traditional kind.

Granny was so creative using these cute umbrellas with the current themes for our Grands, Unicorns and Dinosaurs, filled with lots of fun goodies!

Finally it was time to get our rain gear on and go outside for the Easter Egg Hunt!

We didn’t get the sunshine we had last year for this Easter Sunday and we had a very rainy Easter Monday. We should be full swing into our season of mud here. We only have a couple small snow piles left in our yard. This coming weekend will be a very busy one for us as we will celebrate our grandson’s 4th birthday…with a dinosaur theme.
