OTI: Easter Linkup

For the second year in a row, Kyle and I took our kids up to the lake house for Easter.

For the most part, the weather really cooperated and we had balmy temps in the 50s with sunny skies!

We kinda laid low on Saturday; made a bonfire, hung out by the lake, drank some brewskis (Lawdy! How I hate that word!)

Sunday, we hunted for baskets, consumed hard boiled eggs and peeps, got ready for Mass and snapped some semi-squinty pictures.




All 7 hoppy campers!



Wind blowing hair in my face...

Wind blowing hair allllll the way back.

After the 1.5 hour long Mass (really?! I skip the Easter Vigil so I don't have to lose my mind. Y U gotta make your homily 30 minutes looooooong, Padre?!), we played with our new Easter toys and some of us consumed shocking amounts of sugar.



We finished off the day by driving to the other side of the lake to a sweet little "supper club", where we had an enormous dinner and everyone behaved beautifully -- at least, that's what the lovely old gentleman at the next table told us as he was leaving. He doesn't know the trick is to spend stupid amounts of money adding the salad bar option to half of the kids' meals, so they can bring plates of saltines, dinner rolls, and bacon bits to their younger siblings.

These kids are getting so old, and it's nice to be able to get away and just be our "little" family for one or two holidays every year.

How could I not add in a pic with Will in his Easter "bonnet"?!?

Thanks, Easter Bunny! Bawk! Bawk! (Major Award goes to the first person to tell me where the above phrase originated!)

Mucho thanks to Grace for hosting. Mucho apologies for linking up so late!!
