We are the Easter people

Even though I woke up 30 minutes earlier than my usual Sunday wake up time, we were still racing out the door 90% sure that we'd have to sit in the balcony at church like we did last Easter. (Surprise of all surprises - we arrived well before the opening hymn and were able to squeeze into a pew in the main body of the church!) When I set my alarm the night before, I was sure that we'd have enough time to take a family picture in front of our newly blooming tree, but the breakfast of attempted bunny-shaped cinnamon rolls must have taken up more than its allotted share of time because we had to reschedule the photo shoot. We were so busy having fun with family in Yates Center the rest of the day that we ended up taking our Easter Sunday pictures on Easter Monday evening. Fake it until you make it, I guess!

Max has grown up just a little since last Easter:

The Easter Bunny knew we were going to be out of town for Easter, so he came to our house Saturday morning.

Happy Easter Monday, everyone!
