A long, exhausting day....but beautiful in so many ways. My day started at about 7 when I went to church to cook with some of the guys to put on the annual Easter breakfast. And we dont skimp at all....eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, homefries, you name it! Breakfast for the congregation was at 830, and then my youth group got the annual Easter Egg hunt going....this was about the most stressful 8 minutes of my life....then we went up to church where we were witness to a beautiful service and sermon--as usual. This brought us to about noon, and then we went home, tried to get the kids to nap (unsuccessfully) , and headed over to BaBa's for dinner and another egg hunt....
Maira in her dress....with her bologna arms....
Aunt Kelsey and Maira hanging out at BaBa's post dinner: a delicious crown roast of pork, stuffing, twice baked stuffed potatoes, arugula salad, applesauce, Amanda's homemade whoopie pies, and Kelsey's angel food cake pudding drippy thingy
Ahh....the happy and cooperative children, posing for a picture. Can you tell from Callum's face that I was "explaining" my impatience with him not listening?? Can you??
Easter Egg Hunt at BaBa's!!! Callum LOVED the idea of this hunt....in fact, Amanda hid some more of his eggs for him today, just so he could find them again....I will just let the pictures tell the story of his excitement and engagement in this....
(Sissy, Sasha, Caden, and Mia made these bags for all the church kids so they could put their eggs in them..)
VICTORY IS MINE!!!
At the church breakfast: Amanda and Siena (Amanda, this is my favorite outfit on you)
Callum, after the kid's egg hunt, playing with his Sunday School teacher 'Miss Thomas,' as well as her kids (and my youth groupers) Taylan and Tiana....
The pew of greatness!! We always squeeze in with the Fitzie's and yesterday was no exception. As you can see, Siena takes care of Maira, and Callum entertains himself with egg things......
Finding the first egg at BaBa's....each time he would spot an egg, he would all out SPRINT to it....and his ground-focused gaze WHILE he hunted was priceless....
I'm tired.

Maira looked beautiful in her dress and Callum was so handsome in his hat, jacket, and shoes. A real little preppy. It was so much fun watching Callum on his Easter egg hunt. He's very good at it!
