"Christ the Lord is risen today, hallelujah!" Happy Easter, friends! I had high hopes that we would have a beautiful, warm-ish holiday since it fell in mid-April. That was not the case, however. It was wet and pretty chilly. We had a pretty low-key day, after a full morning of church and lunch with family at my parent's.
Blue was the color this year!
We didn't get a full family picture this year because we snapped this picture before Sunday School and Carlie and Caleb didn't show up until church (when a ton of other people did), so we didn't have to the chance to get one.
Makena took a few pictures around our little church.
My mom, playing the piano.
I did get a picture of all the "kids".
Carlie is starting to show a little bit.
My sweetheart, aka "Pappy"
The parents-to-be: Gage and Carlee and Carlie and Caleb.
And they are both having little girls :)
I took my camera over to my mom's and didn't even take one single picture with it! My Uncle Steve, who has always been the fun-uncle decided to do an impromptu egg hunt (all of the "kids" there this year were between the ages of 14 and 19, with the exception of a 3year old!). They put money in the eggs instead of candy. The smallest amount was $20 and the largest was $100.
Trey got the $100!
Makena found a $20 egg and an empty one (😝)
Makena started having back trouble on Saturday afternoon but it got much worse on Sunday. She was brought to tears by trying to sit in her chair at the kitchen table. We try to keep pain medicine on-hand, but it didn't help any this time. She made it through church even though I told her that she didn't have to. She is one tough cookie but it breaks my heart to see her in so much pain.
We made a trip to the clinic on Monday and she got a Toradol shot, some steroids, and some more pain medicine. I drove her back to school (she HAD to go back) on Monday evening and Carl and Trey picked me up. It made for a late night, but that's the endless job of a parent!
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
Happy Easter!
Much Love,
Beth
