Happy Easter!

After doing absolutely nothing for Lent with the boys this year (way too pregnant to care about activities, sorry) I did a little bit for Easter.

We had breakfast together Easter morning. Each boy had some little treats in their basket. 

Banana bread is a favorite in our house so I made that, and the boys dyed hard boiled eggs on Holy Saturday, which we all actually eat, so they went fast. 

Augustine slept in on Easter morning, so Lewis and I made resurrection rolls while Daddy told the Easter story. 

We uncovered our religious art and crucifix. It's tradition to cover art, statues, crucifixes, etc during Holy Week to keep our focus on the Lord's Passion. You will see this done in Catholic Churches. The Stations of the Cross are not covered because, obviously, they help us focus on the Passion. 

We then went to Mass, ate lunch and took naps. The rest of the day was spent celebrating with my family. Grandma Kathleen was going to join us too, but wasn't feeling well...we missed her! Lewis helped prepare the twice baked potatoes. My mom made a delicious dinner. 

Cousin Kolya played fire fighters and he was awesome at it! The kids were so happy playing with him...as usual. It was a lot of action so this was my best photo. 

We also played Easter Jeopardy and the kids were super into it! They knew the Easter story well, so they got almost all of the questions answered correctly. Forgot to get a photo. :(

On Easter Monday we made stain glass window crosses at home. Augustine made his all blue. He made two of them. 

Lewis decided the tissue paper needed more cutting, so he made a huge mess shredding it, and then made a stain glass window. 

Happy Easter!
