Egg-citing Eastertime

The family enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend together with our families. We had the Carmichael Easter dinner on Good Friday (complete with our traditional Resurrection Rolls which Ethan and Abigail explained to the younger kids. Each one teach one.) and then spent the night. Shawn loves lazy days at the farm and Sat. was no exception. (How many naps did you enjoy, honey?) We watched Hairspray for the first time and everyone loved it.

Sunday was the Easter program at church and then a quiet family day at home. We pulled out the Resurrection Eggs after dinner and went over the Easter story. It's one of the kids favourite activities. I love the details they can remember of the significance of each object in the Easter story. Amazing.

On Monday we enjoyed dinner with the Bremners. It was nice because even Shawn's brother Jared joined us for the event. Even though he lives in TO, he doesn't manage to make it to all the family dinners though we've seen him more often of late.

Look how long Ethan's hair is...going back to his earlier days I see;) I need to get the Resurrection Rolls and Egg activities/stories from you!

Yes, he's choosing to grow it long. None of us are that thrilled with it but I'm okay with him expressing his wants in this method. There's worse things, right?

Yes, once baby boy Parson gets a bit older, you'll be sure to get your own copies, dontcha' worry!

Yes there are definitely worse things...might not help that austin's is so long too;) It'll be neat to see how curly it goes. And thank you in advance!!!
