An Easter Resurrection


Twins arrive for Gentleman's Club Friday.  Time to wake Amanda and let her know we're ready to play.


It will be a miracle if the boys can get Amanda to resurrect.  They begged to have someone wake her, but were a bit hesitant about how much force to use.  With Gramma's and Aunt Becky's encouragement, they learned quickly.


Rehearsal for Easter is endured by Amanda, but totally enjoyed by the boys.


Nathan watches in rapture.


And can't get close enough to suit him.


We attended the Easter egg hunt at St. Peter, which included craft projects.  Just as we wait for Jesus to rise from the tomb, we also wait for the glitter to dry.


Eggs are hiding in lots of unexpected places.


We take a moment to smell the tulips.


And to touch the tulips.


The boys crack their eggs to find treats inside.


Nathan likes these eggs better than real eggs.


Andrew opens an egg with a certificate for a prize.  When Amanda was his age, she got a certificate for a ham.  She was not at all pleased and cried all the way home.  Her aunt was thrilled and cooked the ham for our Easter dinner.  Amanda would have preferred the kite and bubbles the boys received.  


Nolan missed the Easter egg hunt, but hopes to join it next year.


He doesn't even care if he wins a ham. 


Have you ever felt like this after eating a big meal?


It is very tiring having to eat so often.


Did someone say the Easter Bunny came?


Nolan is going to keep a tight hold on Daddy.
