Easter 2016

 As many of you know, our boys go to Lincoln Christian School.  Thankfully, since they attend here they get a little break over Easter.  Of course they get Good Friday off but they also get off Easter Monday.  I think that "holiday" might be made up, but that's fine by me:)

Easter began on Sunday very cold and rainy.  Due to this, we moved all our families activities to Saturday which was sunny and in the 70's.  My aunt and uncle hosted Easter, which is awesome because they live in the country and have a ton of land for all the kids to roam and play and hunt for Easter eggs.  120 eggs spread out among tens of acres.  That, my friends, is what you call an Easter Egg Hunt!

Steven's mom was able to come up to celebrate Easter with us and attend church and family functions.  It was great to have her and the boys always have so much fun with them when they are here.  She kept them entertained half of Sunday while I got loads of things done around the house. 

Also during our break we did several fun things together as a family.  Steven had a basketball tournament on Friday night and his team ended in 2nd place.  I was pretty proud of him though because it was a 3 on 3 tourney.  Steven's team made it to the finals.  Steven's team was 3 almost middle aged white dudes.  The team they were playing was 3 young black men.  I'm pretty sure everyone there thought they were about to get creamed by the other team.  Steven's team did lose but only by 4 and really hung with the other team who was DUNKING.  Not a totally fair match up, as you can see, but he did pretty well!  

I hope everyone had a great Easter celebrating Jesus with all your friends and family.  He is the whole reason why we hunt the eggs, eat the ham, wear our spiffy clothes, go to church, and hang out with our families.  Let's not forget that!
